We've already heard about hoses that get wrapped around existing hot water pipes, using heat radiated from the pipe to heat water inside the hose. A new wrap-around device, however, uses that same ...

The No. 1 nuisance with smartphones and smartwatches is that we need to charge them every day. As warm-blooded creatures, however, we generate heat all the time, and that heat can be converted into ...

Thermoelectric generators that can convert waste heat to clean energy could soon be as efficient as other renewable energy sources, like solar, according to a team led by Penn State scientists. Using ...

If you want to convert heat into electrical power, it’s hard to find a simpler method than a thermoelectric generator. The Seebeck effect means that the junction of two dissimilar conductors will ...

Researchers created a flexible thermoelectric generator using sponge-like carbon nanotubes to efficiently power small wearable sensors via heat harvesting. (Nanowerk News) A Korean research team has ...

Scientists from the University of Rochester in the United States have fabricated a solar thermoelectric generator (STEG) that is reportedly 15 times more efficient than current state-of-the-art ...

Schematic illustration showing the fabrication process of the CNT/BST foam with various shapes. Effects of the BST content and annealing temperature on TE properties of the CNT/BST foams. Highly ...
