Across industrial systems, vehicles, and even compact electronics, valuable heat often goes unused, but thermoelectric ...

Small proof of concept generating just under one volt in cloudy conditions. The Seebeck effect (part of the broader thermoelectric effect) is how a difference in temperature can be directly converted ...

A thermoelectric generator, TEG, is a solid-state device that converts heat directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect. Thermoelectric generators consist of three ...

Engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed a new type of thermoelectric generator that produces an electric current through a temperature gradient. By ...
