Researchers from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, have developed a new heat-to-electricity material that acts like an atomically thin film but comes in a more practical, solid crystal form. If scaled ...

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. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat is ...

RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal ...

Scientists in Sweden experimentally evaluated a Stirling engine–based Carnot battery (SECB) prototype using low-cost sand as thermal energy storage, aiming to validate ...

The TEG thin-film thermoelectric generator converts heat directly into electricity. It supports waste heat conversion applications and delivers >3-W/cm2 densities. The device provides output power ...
