Researchers have fabricated a novel device that could dramatically boost the conversion of heat into electricity. If perfected, the technology could help recoup some of the heat energy that is wasted ...

It’s squishy to the touch, but with metal semiconductors inside that allow the stretchable device to convert heat into electricity. “It can basically generate electrical energy from your body ...

We are uncovering the potential of wood-derived materials to convert waste heat, often lost in industrial processes, into valuable electricity.

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 ...

Heat batteries could store intermittent renewable energy during peak production hours, relying on a thermal version of solar cells to convert it into electricity later. "As we include higher ...

Heat-recovery systems, called thermoelectric systems, use semiconductor materials to convert heat into electricity based on a temperature difference.

Across the planet, vast amounts of low-level thermal energy go unused: from ambient heat in natural environments to small temperature gradients created by waste heat in buildings or electronic devices ...

We are uncovering the potential of wood-derived materials to convert waste heat, often lost in industrial processes, into valuable electricity.

This process allows the lignin membrane to capture and convert waste heat into electrical energy, while the porous carbon structure facilitates the rapid movement and storage of ions.
