New Way Found to Turn Heat Directly Into Electricity
October 2, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Ohio State University scientists have figured out how to capture heat and turn it into electricity. The discovery could create more efficient energy generation from heat in things like car exhaust, interplanetary space probes and industrial processes using a thermoelectric generator. The discovery, published last week in the journal Science Advances, could create more efficient […]

New Material Hunt For Thermoelectric Generation
May 15, 2019 | Leave a Comment
University of Texas at Austin’s Texas Advanced Computing Center has shown that a voltage can be generated by harnessing differences in spin populations on a metal contact attached to a ferromagnetic material through a mechanism known as the Spin Hall effect. The researchers used supercomputers to identify various forms of cobalt oxide combined with nickel […]
