A California-based company is converting stored heat into electricity. Heat2Power (H2P) uses thermophotovoltaic (TPV) ...

Get a firsthand look at how a Pennsylvania home transformed its energy costs by making the switch to a heat pump. Faith Foushee is a CNET contributor and a former writer for SaveOnEnergy.com, covering ...

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.

The PG-1 thermoelectric power generator allows users to generate electricity with canned fuel or other heat source. This self-contained device is suitable for demonstrating the Seebeck effect. The ...

Air conditioning and refrigeration consume about 20% of global electricity, relying on century-old vapor-compression technologies. These systems are energy-intensive, noisy, and contribute to ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...

Thermoelectric (TE) conversion offers carbon-free power generation from geothermal, waste, body or solar heat, and shows promise to be the next-generation energy conversion technology. At the core of ...

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 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 ...

Instead of towering smokestacks, the GreenLab industrial park in Skive, Denmark, is surrounded by wind turbines and a solar array that power its resident companies with renewable energy. "Everything ...

The new report maps out a pathway for electrifying the kind of industrial heat used in making everything from paper and ...

Wastewater flushed down the drain can be used to heat and cool homes and buildings in a sustainable way and climate experts say it's an untapped source of energy due to its stable temperature ...
