Thermoelectric conversion devices offer a promising route for sustainable heat-to-energy conversion. They are particularly attractive for recovering energy from waste heat, such as that produced by ...

Thermoelectric devices are promising for capturing and converting waste heat it into useful electricity. Conventional devices ...

Thermoelectric devices are devices that can convert heat into electrical energy. Researchers have now developed a thermoelectric device composed of organic materials that can generate electricity from ...

We've already heard about hoses that get wrapped around existing hot water pipes, using heat radiated from the pipe to heat water inside the hose. A new wrap-around device, however, uses that same ...

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 published in ACS Applied Materials & ...

The key to future technologies can sometimes be found in the past. What Ravi Kishore is working to perfect, for example, has ...

Chinese researchers have created the world’s first rubber band that converts body heat into electricity. The breakthrough could allow smartwatches and other wearable devices to charge automatically ...

Researchers from India's Shoolini University have conducted a field experiment to analyze the effect of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and water cooling on the temperatures of PV modules.

This new organic thermoelectric device can convert room temperature heat, which is abundant in living environments and was previously not considered a possible energy source, into usable electrical ...
