Many phenomena in physics, though well-known, are not necessarily widely understood as is the case with thermoelectricity. Thermoelectricity is the phenomena that harnesses waste heat by coupling heat flux to build an electric current. Understanding such phenomena is important in order to leave the door open for discovering novel manifestations of them. Even today physicists […]

A Big Improvement in Thermoelectric Material
September 26, 2013 | 2 Comments
Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) can now produce a new and considerably more efficient class of thermoelectric material. The new molecular structure of the material has a very special layout in connection an astonishing new physical effect with tiny cages within the crystal structure enclosing cerium atoms. The Austrian team reports […]
