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 ...

1. A NIMS research team has demonstrated for the first time ever that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric ...

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 ...

A new solar device generates 15 times more energy: a breakthrough in thermoelectric generators converts solar heat into ...

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science and Saitama University achieved the transverse thermoelectric effect (TTE) in the semimetal tungsten disilicide (WSi 2). Previous research had demonstrated ...

Across industrial systems, vehicles, and even compact electronics, valuable heat often goes unused, but thermoelectric ...

This being Ars, I expect that many readers are familiar with Peltier coolers, which make use of something called the thermoelectric effect and use electrical power to pump heat. The nice thing about ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new thermoelectric material that may be the most efficient one yet. The new and improved polycrystalline form of purified tin selenide has all the ...

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 ...
