Curved molecules that absorb sunlight, store the energy, and re-release it as heat are pushing the boundaries in solar thermal storage technology. The anthracene systems, derived from a by-product of ...

The sun does shine, sometimes, in Boston – but not like this. When chemistry professor Grace Han first visited southern California from Boston some years ago, she noticed the difference. How her skin ...

Industry has long relied upon energy-intensive processes, such as distillation and crystallization, to separate molecules that ultimately serve as ingredients in medicine, chemicals and other products ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara developed a "rechargeable solar battery" that stores sunlight ...

New study shows electricity can replace heat to convert CO₂ into methanol, lowering energy use and revealing reactions in real time for cleaner fuels. Researchers at the University of Bath are part of ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...

A research team has created a new, heat-resistant membrane that can withstand harsh environments -- high temperatures, high pressure and complex chemical solvents -- associated with industrial ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Industry has long relied upon energy-intensive processes, such as distillation and crystallization, to separate molecules that ultimately serve as ingredients in medicine, chemicals ...
