Earth keeps getting warmer because more energy from sunlight stays trapped in the climate system. Scientists refer to this as ...

One promising possibility for next-gen cancer treatments involves infiltrating tumors with specially-designed particles and heating them up to destroy the cancerous tissue, and new research from the ...

Patients with late-stage cancer often have to endure multiple rounds of different types of treatment, which can cause unwanted side effects and may not always help. In hopes of expanding the treatment ...

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

Everyday household appliances, like toasters and hair dryers, release invisible ultrafine particles into indoor air during ...

New South Wales, Australia, reached a record high and more efficient critical milestone temperature of 803 °C for concentrated solar thermal energy storage. Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) uses ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- What do tiny dust particles, 22-foot-wide red balloons and "concentrated" sunlight have in common? Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories recently used 22-foot-wide ...

BorgWarner was struggling with inconsistent dispensing of thermal paste. To solve the problem, the automotive supplier turned ...

NREL researchers developed a system that uses heated silica particles for thermal energy storage. The baseline technology is designed for a storage capacity of up to 26,000 MWh and is claimed to have ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) has broken ground on the Generation 3 Particle Pilot Plant (G3P3), a novel concentrating solar power (CSP) facility at Sandia National Laboratory that will use sand-like ...
