The Heat’s next move could be converting one of its two-way contract players to a standard deal to fill that 14th roster spot. Heat two-way contract guard Dru Smith is the obvious candidate for that ...

Perseverance, NASA’s 2020 Mars rover, is powered by something very desirable here on Earth: a thermoelectric device that converts heat to useful electricity. On Mars, the heat source is the ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

An emerging technology involving tiny particles that absorb light and turn it into localized heat sources shows great promise in several fields, including medicine. For example, photothermal therapy, ...

Perseverance, NASA’s 2020 Mars rover, is powered by something very desirable here on Earth: a thermoelectric device, which converts heat to useful electricity. On Mars, the heat source is the ...

Researchers at MIT and Stanford University have found a new method to convert low-temperature waste-heat conversion into electricity, based on the thermogalvanic effect. Vast amounts of excess heat ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We propose a hitherto-unexplored concept in quantum thermodynamics: catalysis of heat-to-work conversion by quantum nonlinear pumping of the ...

Scientists have demonstrated a high-performing thermoelectric material in a practical form that can be used in device development. The material -- purified tin selenide in polycrystalline form -- ...
