Rice University scientists drew insights from quantum physics to selectively pluck photons and control the brightness and bandwidth of light sent to a photovoltaic cell for conversion to electricity.

Rice researchers develop a highly efficient thermal emitter key to thermophotovoltaic systems that convert heat to electricity.

Scientists at Rice University have delved into the realm of quantum physics to develop a highly efficient thermal emitter that provides macro-world solutions for capturing and storing clean energy.

Built on a platform made of tungsten, the thermal emitter developed by the...
