Long-term heat-storage ceramics absorbing thermal energy
In thermal and nuclear power plants, 70% of the generated thermal energy is lost as waste heat. The temperature of the waste heat is below the boiling temperature of water. Here, we show a long-term heat-storage material that absorbs heat energy at warm temperatures from 38°C (311 K) to 67°C (340 K). This unique series of material is composed
8.2 Materials Produced by Volcanic Eruptions
The main component of volcanic gas emissions is water vapour, followed by carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S). Volcanoes release gases when erupt, and through openings called fumaroles (Figure 8.7). They can also release gas into soil and groundwater. Figure 8.7 A fumarole at Puʻu ʻŌʻō Crater, Hawaii.

Abstract. Storage of electrical energy generated by variable and diffuse wind and solar energy at an acceptable cost would liberate modern society from its dependence for energy on the combustion of fossil fuels. This perspective attempts to project the extent to which electrochemical technologies can achieve this liberation.
What happens when all that lava flows to the surface?
This is a frequent question answered by the staff of the U.S. Geological Survey''s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and the answer is "no." Kīlauea''s lava originates as magma, generated by the partial melting of the Earth''s mantle at a depth of at least 20 to 40 miles. As magma rises up to a shallow storage area 2 to 4 miles beneath Kīlauea
