Electric cars live and die by their efficiency, and nowhere is that more obvious than on a freezing highway when the cabin ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study published in ACS Applied Materials & ...

If you’ve ever seen yourself through a thermal imaging camera, you’ll know that your body produces lots of heat. This is in fact a waste product of our metabolism. Every square foot of the human body ...

In neighborhoods around the world, a potent resource slips away unnoticed. This buried treasure is waste heat — a powerhouse for low-carbon energy that often remains untapped. Buildings, factories and ...

About three-quarters of the energy produced by a typical combustion engine is lost through heat and released through a car’s exhaust system. But what if some of that heat could be captured and turned ...

Absorption heat transformers (AHTs) are advanced thermal systems designed to upgrade low-grade waste heat to higher, more useful temperature levels. By exploiting the thermodynamic properties of ...

As the world battles rising inflation, a cost-of-living crisis, climate change and more, it’s clear that the fossil-fueled status quo is not working. Fossil fuels may have seemed like the crutch we ...

Hamilton, a city in Ontario, Canada, will host a pilot project to demonstrate a new technology designed to capture excess hydrothermal energy from its district heating and cooling plant and convert it ...
