Efficient management and exploitation of thermal energy is key for many engineering applications. Greater understanding and control of thermal processes, such as thermal energy harvesting, storage and ...

Evaporation-assisted chip cooling lowers LED temperatures while preserving heat flow for small but useful waste-heat energy ...

Such networks were the focus of a workshop held at the Manchester Community Library on April 23, sponsored by the Manchester ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

Researchers have developed a memory technology that can store and retain data using almost no electricity by controlling spin ...

A new study looks at how changing home heating and cooling systems could save you money and slash carbon emissions. Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's home energy and ...

A new heat-to-energy converter has reached a record efficiency of 44% – the average steam turbine manages about 35%, for comparison. This thermophotovoltaic cell is a major step on the way to ...

As energy from wind and solar fluctuates, it’s important that sources replacing combustion fuels are capable of electricity or heat storage. Refractory bricks, which can withstand high temperatures ...

Electric HVAC systems can help you keep your home comfortable using a fraction of the energy. We spoke to experts to find out just how efficient they are. Mike De Socio is a CNET contributor who ...
