Researchers have developed a new type of solar power system that can produce both electricity and heat at the same time—an innovation that could help industries capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from their ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

The University of South Australia (UniSA) has joined forces with Queensland-based company Impacts Renewable Energy and Charles Sturt University (CSU) to build a concentrated solar thermal (CST) plant ...

Researchers in Australia are working on a way to lower the cost of producing solar thermal energy by as much as 40% with the help of shatterproof rear-view mirrors originally designed for cars. That ...

Next-gen thermal solar technology may be closer than it appears thanks to plastic rearview mirrors. According to reports from New Atlas and the University of South Australia, UniSA experts have ...

The Department of Energy is investing $33 million into nine projects, including an effort to use “concentrating solar thermal” tech to produce steam for a brewery. The US is continuing its ...

The science pros at TKOR attempt to melt a mirror with a solar beam, showing extreme heat, light concentration, and the power ...
