Researchers show how thermoelectricity hurdles some defects, but not others, in gold nanowires. The discovery has implications for making better thin-film electronic devices. Though the Summer ...

A team of researchers has just made a major discovery in the field of thermoelectricity. Their work, published in Nature Physics, sheds light on a phenomenon predicted over a century ago.

(Nanowerk News) Gang Chen's research with nano-scale materials gave him a head start in the field of nanotechnology when it was still brand new. Today, nano-materials, in which dimensions are measured ...

Converting heat directly into power could be a major source of renewable energy. A novel approach to study this so called thermoelectricity may help to design new materials that are highly efficient.

A new technical paper titled “Topological Flat-Band-Driven Metallic Thermoelectricity” was published by researchers at TU Wien, Los Alamos National Lab, Flatiron Institute and others. “Materials where ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Thermoelectricity is a two-way process. It can refer either to the way a temperature difference between one side of a material and the other can produce electricity, or to the reverse ...

The direct conversion of heat into electricity, or electricity into heat, is known as thermoelectricity. This conversion process is referred to as the Peltier-Seebeck effect. This effect is name after ...
