It is a promising thermal-management concept, not a ready-made solution for overheating in real products.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>materials-science</category></item><item><title>A solar-thermal concept could help concentrated solar power keep working after sunset</title><link>https://scidrop.techcats.org/articles/solar-thermal-energy-storage-after-sunset/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://scidrop.techcats.org/articles/solar-thermal-energy-storage-after-sunset/</guid><description>Researchers modelled a high-temperature solar-thermal thermophotovoltaic system that stores heat in a phase-change material and later turns it back into electricity. It is a proposed concept, not a built battery, and its headline efficiency numbers come from simulations under specific assumptions.</description><pubDate>Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>energy</category></item></channel></rss>
