The new polymer blend could significantly enhance energy efficiency for indoor space cooling, according to a new study published in Joule.

South Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy transition: trying to decarbonize its economy (move away from coal) and make sure that everyone has access to reliable and affordable energy. Storage of renewable energy is very important for this transition. Solar and wind power are not available all the time. To keep the national grid stable, renewable energy must be stored somewhere and supplied reliably.

Most urban transit systems have a brief window of time in the wee hours of the morning to perform maintenance work without disrupting passenger service.
