A new thermodynamic design links ion movement and concentration to energy output, creating soft polymer films that generate ...
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 ...
A team of engineers and material scientists in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder has developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way ...
Geothermal energy taps into heat beneath the Earth’s surface to generate electricity or provide direct heating. Unlike solar or wind, it never stops. It runs around the clock, providing consistent, ...
On a kagome lattice charge carriers become immobilized due to quantum mechanical effects, which was utilized by the team of Andrej Pustogow at TU Wien to optimize thermoelectric performance.
When you stream a movie, back up a photo or ask ChatGPT a question, somewhere a data center is working hard—and getting hot. Cooling those facilities already consumes a huge share of their electricity ...
