Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

It is a daunting question that a startup called Polar Night Energy, in the small and chilly nation of Finland (Figure 1), is attempting to answer. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation. The intermittent nature of daylight and strong winds, however, is a stubborn problem.

5 Big Ideas for High-Temperature Superconductors

Cars That Think

It refers to materials that superconduct above −195.79 °C, the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. But the materials could show up sooner in a wide array of practical applications, including wind power, energy storage, and nuclear magnetic-resonance machines. High temperature” isn’t room temperature.

Harvard team demonstrates new metal-free organic–inorganic aqueous flow battery; potential breakthrough for low-cost grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

AQDSH 2 refers to the reduced form of AQDS. Quinones are naturally abundant, inexpensive, small organic molecules, and similar to molecules that store energy in plants and animals. Solid-electrode batteries maintain discharge at peak power for far too short a time to fully regulate wind or solar power output. Background.
