Thermoelectric devices are promising for capturing and converting waste heat it into useful electricity. Conventional devices ...

Waste heat from industrial equipment could be converted more efficiently using a thermoelectric material that generates voltage perpendicular to heat flow.

Thermoelectric conversion devices offer a promising route for sustainable heat-to-energy conversion. They are particularly attractive for recovering energy from waste heat, such as that produced by ...

If you’ve ever seen yourself through a thermal imaging camera, you’ll know that your body produces lots of heat. This is in fact a waste product of our metabolism. Every square foot of the human body ...

The electrostatic potential of particular matter is a promising resource for energy harvesting. In a recent breakthrough, a team of researchers from Chung-Ang University has developed a ...

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 ...

What if a single idea, once dismissed as impossible, could spark innovations that save millions of dollars and transform energy efficiency? The concept of a “free energy generator” has long been the ...
