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

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 ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a new organic device that can harvest energy from heat. Unlike other thermoelectric generators, this one works at room temperature without a heat gradient. Usually, ...

A new quantum transport theory reveals how femtosecond time scale thermoelectric fluctuations influence energy control at the nanoscale. The University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has contributed to the ...

Temperature plays a pivotal role in the environment, directly affecting the survival, function, and overall health of organisms by shaping their physiological and behavioral responses. Likewise, ...

Three kits provide the necessary thermoelectric generators and boost power converters to evaluate energy harvesting for solid-to-air, liquid-to-liquid, and liquid-to-air applications. EverGen kits ...

University of Rochester researchers have developed a way to make solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) 15 times more powerful, potentially closing the efficiency gap with conventional solar panels ...

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 ...
