In a nutshell Scientists finally cracked the code on making fabric that can generate electricity from body heat by creating a ...

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 ...

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

While all materials demonstrate some thermoelectric effect, it is often too negligible to be useful. Materials exhibiting a high enough thermoelectric effect are usually so-called "degenerate ...

Critical to their invention was a well-known device called a thermocouple, which utilizes differences in temperature to generate electricity (a process known as the thermoelectric effect). RTGs excel ...

Thermoelectrics are materials that can generate electricity from the application of a temperature gradient, or vice versa, through the thermoelectric effect. By exploiting this coupling between ...

ISTA researchers develop thermoelectric materials for 3D printing - greatly improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing ...

but is limited by the lack of effective spatiotemporal control of thermoelectric effect in vivo. Here, the authors report a spatiotemporally controllable nanodevice that allows a precise and ...

The running gear for this build is nothing fancy; it’s just a standard thermoelectric cooling module and a fan. The trick was getting the airflow over the module right. [Ben] uses two air inlets ...

Thermoelectric coolers, also called solid-state refrigerators, can induce localized cooling by using an electric current to transfer heat from one side of the device to another. Their long ...
