Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used a theoretical framework to derive design rules for creating new ...

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 ...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are the basis of many rapidly growing technologies, because they combine miniature sensors and actuators with communications and electronics at low cost.

According to scientists, waste heat, which enters the environment and remains unused, accounts for more than 70% of global energy consumption losses. With the help of thermoelectric materials—special ...

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 ...

A team of researchers developed a thermoelectric material that can be used in wearable devices, such as smart clothing, and while maintaining stable thermal energy performance even in extreme ...

Thermoelectric generators convert heat or cold to electricity (and vice-versa). Normally solid-state devices, they can be used in such things as power plants to convert waste heat into additional ...

Thermoelectric coolers are solid-state heat pumps used in applications where temperature stabilization, temperature cycling, or cooling below ambient levels are required. Thermoelectric cooling is ...

I’m in a parking lot in Menlo Park, California, eyeballing a small canister that looks like an Amazon Echo with a fringe on top. It’s a location beacon, but it’s not plugged into a power source. In ...

Offering an alternative to conventional fan trays and compressor-based cooling systems, thermoelectric cooler assemblies are compact units that deliver precise temperature control. These cooling ...
