Innovative Energy Storage Inspired by Sunburn Could Revolutionize Heating
Researchers have developed a new method of energy storage inspired by the molecular changes that occur in skin during sunburn. This method, known as molecular solar thermal (Most) energy storage, involves molecules that change shape when exposed to sunlight, storing energy in the process. These molecules can later revert to their original shape, releasing the stored energy on demand. This technology offers a potentially cheap and emissions-free way to supply heat, addressing the challenge of decarbonizing heating, which currently relies heavily on fossil fuels.
