We will all be used to the thermoelectric effect in our electronic devices. The property of a junction of dissimilar conductors to either generate electricity from a difference in temperature (the ...

For the first time in the world, NIMS and Tohoku University jointly observed an anisotropic magneto-Peltier effect--a thermoelectric conversion phenomenon in which simple redirection of a charge ...

Thermoelectric devices are curious things, capable of generating electricity via the Seebeck effect from a temperature differential across themselves. The Seebeck effect does not produce a huge ...

A research team has demonstrated that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric effect -- energy conversion between ...

Anyone who's taken a hands-on course in electric circuits knows that resistors warm when conducting current. The amount of heat is proportional to the product of the resistance and the square of the ...

Composite of thermoelectric and magnetic materials with high thermopower may open up a new way to wide-ranging energy applications A NIMS research team devised a new thermoelectric generation ...

Nextreme, Inc., an new startup out of North Carolina, has announced a new cooling device for chips that gives me an excuse to write an Ars story that contains two words that I haven't used together on ...

A thermoelectric generator, TEG, is a solid-state device that converts heat directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect. Thermoelectric generators consist of three ...

Although the Peltier effect was discovered almost 200 years ago, global research activities on this subject remain active today in an effort to increase the thermoelectric conversion efficiency in ...
