Perseverance, NASA’s 2020 Mars rover, is powered by something very desirable here on Earth: a thermoelectric device that converts heat to useful electricity. On Mars, the heat source is the ...

A new thermogalvanic device uses nanoparticles to control ion flow, allowing it to convert waste heat to electricity and store the energy without external batteries.

Waste heat is used to generate steam or other working fluid, which then drives a turbine connected to a generator to generate ...

The prototype delivered 13 per cent conversion efficiency, which, in simple terms, meant that with the prototype, for every ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have fabricated a novel device that could dramatically boost the conversion of heat into electricity. If ...

A novel method has been developed by scientists to convert heat into electricity using tungsten disilicide (WSi2). This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at the Tokyo University of Science, marks ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...

Closing in on the theoretical maximum efficiency, devices for turning heat into electricity are edging closer to being practical for use on the grid, according to new research. Closing in on the ...

QUT researchers have developed a new material that achieves record-high thermoelectric performance, paving the way for more ...

On the 19th of last month (local time), the Iru Power Plant, located approximately 10 km from Estonia’s capital Tallinn, was incinerating waste from across the country to generate combined heat and ...

Muhammad Muddasar is working as Research Assistant in University of Limerick, Ireland. He received funding from Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for this project. If you’ve ever seen ...

Ireland was still in the middle of rural electrification in 1938 when the city of Zurich was installing a heat pump to heat ...
