Today’s heat pumps are limited to about 50% of the physical Carnot limit due to technology, but the electrocaloric heat pump could theoretically reach 85%. These solid-fuel heat pumps are to be ...

Researchers in Denmark have investigated what levelized cost of storage (LCOS) Carnot batteries have to achieve to become competitive in a 100% renewables scenario within their home country.

Challenging centuries-old assumptions about thermodynamics, a new study published in Physical Review Letters has shown that ...
