The thermoelectric devices and steam turbines would be driven by heat collected and stored using mirrors to focus sunlight onto a “selective solar absorber and reflector.” To efficiently collect heat ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports presented a graphene-based metamaterial as a solar absorber. The structure consisted of ...

Scientists have built the thinnest, most efficient absorber of visible light on record, a nanosize structure that could lead to less-costly, more efficient, solar cells. Stanford University ...

This is in part because their solar absorbers, which heat water to evaporation, are in direct contact with the bulk saltwater, which sucks away large amounts of the heat. To mitigate this energy ...

Researchers led by Dartmouth College in the United States have identified zintl-phosphide (BaCd2P2) as a potential new absorber material for thin-film solar cells after conducting a high ...

A group of researchers led by the Autonomous University of Querétaro in Mexico have proposed for the first time to fabricate thin-film solar cells relying on an absorber made of silver ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists from the National Institute of Education/Nanyang Technological University of Singapore developed a method for converting fruit wastes such as coconut husks, orange peels, ...

Abu Dhabi: In a continued drive towards harnessing the sun as a source of energy, Masdar Institute of Science and Technology on Monday announced that they have developed a high performance solar ...

This reactor stands out because its sophisticated solar absorber is carefully engineered to retain as much heat as possible while reducing losses. The device features a layered structure of ...

THURSO, Canada, July 25, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rio Tinto and Aymium have formed a new joint venture named Évolys Québec Inc. to manufacture a renewable metallurgical biocarbon product to reduce ...
