If you’ve ever seen yourself through a thermal imaging camera, you’ll know that your body produces lots of heat. This is in fact a waste product of our metabolism. Every square foot of the human body ...

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 ...

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, marks ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...

A California-based company is converting stored heat into electricity. Heat2Power (H2P) uses thermophotovoltaic (TPV) ...

HOUSTON – (Nov. 21, 2024) – Researchers at Rice University have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Using an ...

Muhammad Muddasar is working as Research Assistant in University of Limerick, Ireland. He received funding from Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for this project. If you’ve ever seen ...

Dried leaves convert small temperature differences into electricity through ion movement, offering a natural, biodegradable platform for efficient thermal energy harvesting that rivals engineered ...

Picture a device that can produce electricity using nothing but the ambient heat around it. Thanks to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science today, this scenario is a ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study published in ACS Applied Materials & ...

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression technologies. These systems are energy-intensive, noisy, and contribute to ...
