A novel hydrovoltaic cell developed by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) can continuously generate electricity using little water and no sunlight. This feature could help deploy the ...

PNW scientists have made a flexible “fabric” that converts body heat into electricity. Heat is energy, and most of the heat we produce — from our bodies, kitchens and cars — just dissipates into the ...

A new thermodynamic design links ion movement and concentration to energy output, creating soft polymer films that generate steady electrical power from tiny temperature differences such as body heat.

The system allows the vessel to produce up to 300 kW of electricity by turning low-temperature waste heat from the main engine into usable power.

On a kagome lattice charge carriers become immobilized due to quantum mechanical effects, which was utilized by the team of Andrej Pustogow at TU Wien to optimize thermoelectric performance.

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 ...

This infographic depicts a simplified diagram of the novel energy-harvesting technique using the TL liquid. Implementation of this strategy in practice could help in the conversion of waste heat ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a new ultra-high-temperature heat pump with no moving parts that could one day allow ...

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 published in ACS Applied Materials & ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

About three-quarters of the energy produced by a typical combustion engine is lost through heat and released through a car’s exhaust system. But what if some of that heat could be captured and turned ...
