Scientists generate warmth over 1,000 levels Celsius with solar energy as an alternative of fossil gasoline

Scientists generate warmth over 1,000 levels Celsius with solar energy as an alternative of fossil gasoline

Instead of burning fossil fuels to smelt steel and cook cement, researchers in Switzerland want to use heat from the sun. The proof-of-concept study uses synthetic quartz to trap solar energy at temperatures over 1,000 C (1,832 F), demonstrating the method’s potential role in providing clean energy for carbon-intensive industries.
