Engineers at the University of California, Davis, have invented a device that can generate mechanical power at night by ...

This engine won't be fueling interstellar missions, but still finds an unexpected way to use deep space energy to generate ...

Deppe and Munday mounted a simple Stirling engine on a radiative cooling panel. They placed the setup on the ground, letting ...

Solar panels do a remarkable job during the day; however, the hours when people need the most electricity rarely coincide with the hours when sunlight is strongest. That mismatch has always created a ...

Researchers have created a device that generates mechanical power at night by harnessing the natural temperature difference between warm ground and the cold of outer space. Engineers at the, Davis, ha ...

Engineers are using the temperature difference between Earth and space to power a low-temperature Stirling engine that drives ...

A new device developed by UC Davis scientists works by taking advantage of the temperature difference between the warmth of the Earth and the extreme chill of outer space ...

Building off a design invented and patented nearly 207 years ago by Robert Stirling, Qnergy’s Free Piston Stirling Engine is revolutionizing the capture of one of the most harmful pollutants out there ...

Have you ever imagined a bike powered not by gasoline or electricity, but by the simple act of heating and cooling air? It might sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but the concept is ...

Earlier this week, we wrote about setbacks at some Silicon Valley companies with new solar technology. They’re built on real science and work in the labs, but they’re grappling with the real-world ...
