Check out our top 10 energy conservation techniques - the best ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.
Rondo Energyis one of the companies working to produce and deploy thermal batteries. The company’s heat storage system relies on a resistance heater, which transforms electricity into heat using the same method as a space heater or toaster—but on a larger scale, and reaching a much higher t...
However, in the midst of our daily actions, a key question arises: how can we harness this resource more effectively and sustainably? Discover the main aspects of energy efficiency and its relationship with Iberdrola's work in the fight against climate change....
Deep inside the Earth lies hot water and steam that can be used to heat our homes and businesses and generate electricity cleanly and efficiently. It's called geothermal energy -- from the Greek words geo, or "earth," and therme, meaning "heat." There is plenty of heat in the center ...
Thermal cycling, the repeated oscillation between temperatures over the lifetime of an electronic device, can cause failure. Learn how to avoid it in your designs.
Tesla, the inventors discussed a battery design that provides a predictable pathway through a portion of the cell (e.g., the cell cap assembly) for the efficient release of the thermal energy that occurs during thermal runaway, thereby reducing the chances of a rupture in an undesirable ...
I understand that electrons in the atoms in the wall absorb the light, but how does that absorbed sunlight turn into thermal energy? It turns out that, as often happens in science, that there is more than one way to explain the same basic phenomenon. ...
