Has your steering wheel been too hot to touch this summer? A new thermoelectric material reported in the journal Science could offer relief. The widespread adoption of thermoelectric devices that can ...

Experimental setup for thermoelectric cooling. Courtesy: Jun Mao, University of Houston Researchers have fabricated a room-temperature thermoelectric material that is as good as the best commercially ...

A new solar device generates 15 times more energy: a breakthrough in thermoelectric generators converts solar heat into electricity.

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...

A standard reference thermoelectric module (SRTEM) for objectively measuring thermoelectric module performance has been ...

EK water blocks have not announced that it's building a thermoelectric Peltier cooler (TEC), but Linus Sebastien used one in his latest LTT video, so the company must be at least experimenting with ...

In classic Computex style Cooler Master is showing off a thermoelectric CPU cooler design concept on its stand, but it's one that's practically finished and will be on the shelves by the end of the ...

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 ...

The widespread adoption of thermoelectric devices that can directly convert electricity into thermal energy for cooling and heating has been hindered, in part, by the lack of materials that are both ...
