Cold temperatures induce an accumulation of heat-producing brown and beige cells, so Wolfrum and his team housed mice at 8°C for one week and compared their adipocyte profiles to mice housed at room ...

The reduction in heat allows the solar cell to increase efficiency by ... solar utilization efficiency of up to 14.9%.

The heat is then used to boil water ... that is pollution- and often noise-free. The technology is also versatile. For example, solar cells generate energy for far-out places like satellites ...

“Bifacial TPV cells allow for the conversion of radiant heat to electricity at lower temperatures than conventional monofacial designs,” researcher Alejandro Datas told pv magazine.
