Converting Heat Directly Into Electricity
December 27, 2016 | Leave a Comment
Ohio State University researchers have figured out how to convert heat into electricity in a form more suitable for industry. This is the research group that pioneered the use of a quantum mechanical effect to convert heat into electricity. The engineers describe in Nature Communications how they used magnetism on a composite of nickel and […]
