A new solar device generates 15 times more energy: a breakthrough in thermoelectric generators converts solar heat into ...

Across industrial systems, vehicles, and even compact electronics, valuable heat often goes unused, but thermoelectric ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a new organic device that can harvest energy from heat. Unlike other thermoelectric generators, this one works at room temperature without a heat gradient. Usually, ...

A new study has proposed that easily available tech may help humans sustain themselves on the distant world, Mars. Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) propose using thermoelectric ...

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) use heat—or more accurately, temperature differences—and the well-known Seebeck effect to generate electricity. Their applications range from energy harvesting of ...

Scientists are learning how to turn the chill of outer space into a quiet source of electricity, using the night sky itself as a heat sink. By carefully managing how surfaces shed heat after dark, ...

Iranian researchers have looked at how ultrasonic thermoelectric generators could be used to lower the operating temperature of solar modules. Their new system can generate cold steam via ultrasonic ...

An experimentator has used waste heat of his body to turn humans into batteries. Nick Zetta, who runs Basically Homeless YouTube channel, turned himself into a battery using thermoelectric generators.

Around half of the world’s useful energy is wasted as heat due to the limited efficiency of energy conversion devices. For example, one-third of a vehicle’s energy dissipates as waste heat in exhaust ...

Readily available thermoelectric generators operating under modest temperature differences can power CO 2 conversion, according to a proof-of-concept study by chemists at the University of British ...
