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 ...

In joint research with The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and Nagoya University, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) developed a new material "thermoelectric permanent magnet" exhibiting ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel's potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study demonstrates how to convert exhaust ...

A flexible foam sensor built from silver selenide detects temperature and pressure simultaneously, enabling a robotic gripper ...

We've already heard about hoses that get wrapped around existing hot water pipes, using heat radiated from the pipe to heat water inside the hose. A new wrap-around device, however, uses that same ...

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GMZ Energy, a market leader in the development of high-temperature thermoelectric generation (“TEG”) solutions, today announced the successful demonstration of a ...

An international research team led by Australia's RMIT University has fabricated a prototype of a nanofluid-cooled thermoelectric generator (TEG) that uses photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) energy to ...

In an average day, tropical oceans absorb about 278 petawatt-hours of solar energy. Harvesting just 1/4000th of that energy would supply the entire world's daily electricity – and ocean thermal energy ...

Researchers from India's Shoolini University have conducted a field experiment to analyze the effect of thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and water cooling on the temperatures of PV modules.

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 ...
