Researchers in Cork are testing a new solar energy system that could help slash home heating bills in the future.

A lot still needs to be done to make the most of the sun as a resource. Solar panel efficiency must continue to increase. And production and purchase costs must be reduced. To achieve this, we work ...

“Solar heat technology has enormous potential because it takes the task of heating water, a major energy cost in any building, either off the power or gas grid, resulting in financial and carbon ...

Researchers from China have proposed to combine solar-air source heat pumps ... a lack of research on integrating cost-effective heat storage technologies with SASHP systems,” the team explained.

Other solar technologies are passive. For example, big windows placed on the sunny side of a building allow sunlight to heat-absorbent materials on the floor and walls. These surfaces then release ...

A recent study from the University of Tsukuba and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in ...

A new hydrophobic graphene-based material developed by IITB scientists could support efforts to address fresh water crisis ...

When the ground shakes violently, entire cities can crumble within minutes. Homes, hospitals, roads, and lives can vanish ...

The UK government needs to go beyond offering subsidies for low-carbon technologies (LCTs) like electric cars and solar panels for energy and heating, if it is to meet its net-zero targets by 2050, a ...
