Perseverance, NASA’s 2020 Mars rover, is powered by something very desirable here on Earth: a thermoelectric device that converts heat to useful electricity. On Mars, the heat source is the ...

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 ...

Researchers have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Engineers designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have fabricated a novel device that could dramatically boost the conversion of heat into electricity. If ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 demonstrates how to convert exhaust ...

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 ...
