Science · 19 Oct 2026Heat-storing salogels offer a potential path to efficient buildings

A review from Texas A&M University highlights the potential of salogels, polymer gels loaded with hydrated salts, to passively regulate building temperatures. The materials absorb heat by day and release it at night, a cycle that could substantially reduce the energy buildings consume for heating and cooling.
