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, ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

A research team proposes the direction for designing highly efficient spin Seebeck-based thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric (TE) conversion offers a carbon-free power generation from geothermal, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
