Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as ...

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

Through a detailed mapping of the operating principles of current geothermal systems, scientists are pointing to vast, ...

Electrical engineers have determined the theoretical fundamental limit for how much electromagnetic energy a transparent material with a given thickness can absorb. The finding will help engineers ...

A recent article published in Nature examined plasticity to identify a balance between plasticity and buckling instability, termed "yield buckling." Image Credit: John_T/Shutterstock.com This approach ...
