Engineered molecule stashes enough sunlight to boil water months later

Matthew Fuchter, who develops novel molecular systems at the University of Oxford, calls this “an exciting study [that] ...

A fluid can store solar energy and then release it as heat months later

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...
