Dark matter remains one of science's greatest mysteries, possibly making up 85% of all matter in the universe. Despite ...

Scientists have found a clever way to double the efficiency of thermoelectric materials — those that convert heat into ...

Researchers developed hybrid thermoelectric materials that double energy conversion efficiency by decoupling heat and charge ...

An international team has succeeded in producing new, efficient thermoelectric materials that could compete with state-of-the-art materials, offering greater stability and lower cost.

Thermoelectric materials enable the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy. This makes them particularly attractive ...

Researchers have highlighted that good thermoelectric materials are those that conduct electricity well on the one hand, but ...

By using special crystals with unique intrinsic "chiral" structures—meaning they have ... composed of rhodium and elements like silicon, tin, and bismuth, possess an extraordinary ability ...

Instead the bismuth-antimony component selectively accumulated at the micrometer-sized interfaces between the crystals of the ... have vastly different lattice structures, which means their ...

Turning heat into electricity might sound like science fiction, but thermoelectric materials can do exactly that. These ...

A recent study1 by Dr. Fabian Garmroudi and a team of international researchers opens the door for one of the most ...
