Swiss scientists develop a 1,000°C solar-powered heat generator for carbon-intensive industries.

Scientists in Switzerland have developed a solar-powered device that can generate heat at temperatures over 1,000°C, potentially providing clean energy for carbon-intensive industries such as steel and cement production. The proof-of-concept study, published in the journal Device, uses synthetic quartz to trap solar energy, demonstrating the method's potential role in providing clean energy for industries that rely heavily on burning fossil fuels for heat.
