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 ...
When molecules absorb energy from light, that energy has to go somewhere. Sometimes it causes a chemical reaction. In other cases, it dissipates as heat or radiates light back; that is, it glows. But ...
WASHINGTON — New investments in U.S. chemical engineering are needed to maintain global leadership and meet societal challenges — including generating medical advances, furthering the energy ...
