Thermoelectric material hits record 13% waste heat-to-electricity conversion
The prototype delivered 13 per cent conversion efficiency, which, in simple terms, meant that with the prototype, for every ...
MIT researchers have a new energy storage design that will store heat generated by excess electricity from solar or wind power in large tanks of white-hot molten silicon. It converts the light from ...
The temperature on any given summer day may be in the 80s or 90s. So why does it feel so much hotter and oppressive at times? That's the heat index doing its thing. Here's how it works: What is the ...
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 ...
