Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have developed new thermoelectric materials, which could provide a low-cost option for converting heat energy into electricity. Materials kno... Read more
A new type of material generates electrical current very efficiently from temperature differences. This allows sensors and small processors to supply themselves with energy wirelessly. Therm... Read more
Pressure improves the ability of materials to turn heat into electricity and could potentially be used to create clean generators, according to new work from a team that includes Carnegie’s... Read more
An inexpensive thermoelectric device harnesses the cold of space without active heat input, generating electricity that powers an LED at night, researchers report September 12 in the journal... Read more
Has your steering wheel been too hot to touch this summer? A new thermoelectric material reported in the journal Science could offer relief. The widespread adoption of thermoelectric devices... Read more
Researchers at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science lead the way in utilising thermoelectric generators as a potential power supply for synthetic skins A team led by Pro... Read more
Many wearable biosensors, data transmitters and similar tech advances for personalized health monitoring have now been “creatively miniaturized,” says materials chemist Trisha Andrew at the... Read more
If thermoelectric materials can convert low-grade heat into electricity, we may never need to charge wearable technology at home again. At night, most of us plug in a jumble of wires and dev... Read more
