When it comes to solar power, solar cells and panels tend to get all the attention. But there's a different kind of solar power generator known as a STEG, and researchers have just figured out a way ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

Community driven content discussing all aspects of software development from DevOps to design patterns. Here are the most important concepts developers must know when they size Java arrays and deal ...

If you want to convert heat into electrical power, it’s hard to find a simpler method than a thermoelectric generator. The Seebeck effect means that the junction of two dissimilar conductors will ...

(a) Directly driving Martian gas thermoelectric conversion to satisfy the Mars surface energy demands. (b) The thermophysical properties of Martian gas compared to conventional rare gases. The symbol ...

The team lead by Prof. Zhou Yang from the Southeast University has developed a bio-inspired thermoelectric cement with remarkable Seebeck coefficient via employing interfacial selective immobilization ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel's potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study demonstrates how to convert exhaust ...

The No. 1 nuisance with smartphones and smartwatches is that we need to charge them every day. As warm-blooded creatures, however, we generate heat all the time, and that heat can be converted into ...

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...

Decart, an Israeli AI company that emerged from stealth today with $21 million in funding from Sequoia and Oren Zeev, has released what it’s claiming is the first playable “open-world” AI model.
