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 ...

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 ...

Thermoelectric materials can convert electricity into heat and vice versa. For most of them, doubling the voltage across them will double the heat they produce. But for some special thermoelectric ...

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 ...

A simple candle flame can be used as a small thermal power source when combined with a thermoelectric generator (TEG), a ...
