A trio of physicists at Sorbonne Université, in France, has observed a thermoelectric effect between two liquid materials for the first time. In their study, published in Proceedings of the National ...

A research team has demonstrated that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric effect -- energy conversion between ...

A new quantum transport theory reveals how femtosecond time scale thermoelectric fluctuations influence energy control at the nanoscale. The University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has contributed to the ...

With ongoing breakthroughs in materials and system-level integration, thermoelectric generators are poised for transformative ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science and Saitama University achieved the transverse thermoelectric effect (TTE) in the semimetal tungsten disilicide (WSi 2). Previous research had demonstrated ...

Electricity can be easily converted into heat—every electric cooker does it. But is the opposite also possible? Can heat be converted into electricity—directly, without a steam turbine or similar ...

A technical paper titled “Enhanced thermoelectric performance via quantum confinement in a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor for thermal management” was published by researchers at ...
