Scientists from the United States of America announced that they have created a material that is able to change solar energy into thermal energy. This discovery is planned to be implemented in the production of glass for windows, as well as in the process of creating clothing.
American scientists have created a material that is able to convert the energy of the sun into thermal energy, the information Internet portal wordyou.ru writes. The developers have created a system that stores solar energy for a long time as a stable molecular configuration.
When exposed to light or electricity, this energy is released. The transformation of solar energy into thermal energy occurs due to the ability of the atoms of the material to absorb electromagnetic radiation. At the same time, the energy of EM radiation changes into thermal energy, that is, the kinetic energy of molecules and atoms. In this regard, the temperature of the material itself rises.
Thus, scientists realized that if you sew outerwear from an energy-transforming material, then such clothes will warm a person in a couple of minutes. The latest technology can be used in the manufacture of workwear for sports and tourism purposes, as well as for everyone who has to be outdoors for a long time in a cold season.
