This effect can be used to generate electricity, measure temperature or change the temperature of objects. Because the direction of heating and cooling is affected by the applied voltage, ...

Thermoelectric devices are devices that can convert heat into electrical energy. Researchers have now developed a thermoelectric device composed of organic materials that can generate electricity from ...

A trio of physicists at Sorbonne Université, in France, has observed a thermoelectric effect between two liquid materials for the first time. In their study, published in Proceedings of the ...

We will all be used to the thermoelectric effect in our electronic devices. The property of a junction of dissimilar conductors to either generate electricity from a difference in temperature (the ...

If you have ever entertained yourself by reading comprehensive electronic-theory textbooks you’ll have seen references to technologies that sound really interesting but which you will rarely ...

This breakthrough was achieved by measuring the thermoelectric effect in superconductors over a wide range of magnetic fields and over a wide range of temperatures, from much higher than the ...

New research is examining the use of thermoelectric materials from renewable sources, such as wood, to convert heat into ...

Thanks to nanoscale devices as small as human cells, researchers can create groundbreaking material properties, leading to ...

(Nanowerk News) Photothermoelectric (PTE) effect involves two energy conversion processes: photothermal conversion and thermoelectric effect. When the incident light is locally absorbed, a temperature ...

An international research team has investigated how thermoelectric subcooling may be integrated into propane heat pumps to ...

ACS) TTENGs combine the principles of triboelectric and thermoelectric effects, allowing them to generate electricity from both mechanical and thermal energy. A typical TTENG consists of two layers: ...
