Researchers have combined sugar alcohols with carbon nanotubes to create a material capable of storing renewable energy as heat.

As scientists and researchers continue to seek new ways to reduce dependency on fossil fuels and decrease the amount of CO2 put into the air, one area that is sometimes overlooked is how heat is stored. For example, although much research has gone into collecting and using solar and wind energy, little has gone towards answering the question of how to store excess energy for the times when the sun is down or the wind isn’t blowing.
