Researchers in Japan have developed a new photocatalyst that can use a much broader range of sunlight to produce hydrogen, ...

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 ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

The sun can provide limitless heat for buildings and industrial processes. But using that heat on demand means capturing and storing solar thermal energy for when the sun isn’t shining. Researchers ...

Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, but they can do it around the clock, even when the sun isn't shining. Here's how. Solar energy is one of the most accessible and cleanest forms of ...

Bifacial solar panels are a rapidly growing technology that has piqued the interest of many renewable energy enthusiasts. While traditional solar panels can only capture sunlight with one sky-facing ...

Under the sea, green algae have evolved a clever way to handle too much sunlight. Scientists found that a special pigment called siphonein acts like a natural sun shield, protecting the algae’s ...

Severe fine dust pollution over Seoul and Mexico City, being composed of the same type of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), exhibits markedly different characteristics. Seoul's air tends to reflect ...

(CBS DETROIT) - Every day, the sun's radiation is scattered. Some sunlight is absorbed, and some is reflected back into the atmosphere. This is a measure of the reflectivity of a surface, which can be ...
