Thermoelectric materials have the ability to generate electricity when a temperature difference is applied to them. Conversely, they can also generate a temperature gradient when current is applied to them.
The University of Adelaide has today, Wednesday, 1 December, launched its Quantum Materials strategy with its focus on cutting-edge fundamental research and delivering new quantum-enabled technologies for a safer, wealthier and healthier world.
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge, Brookhaven and Idaho national laboratories and Stony Brook University have developed a novel approach to gain fundamental insights into molten salts, a heat transfer medium important to advanced energy technologies.
For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings by Penn State researchers have raised questions about this standard rule.
A team of researchers from Canada and China recently developed a new method to utilize doped carbon obtained from bamboo in silicon carbide and nitrogen-based supercapacitors. This research is published in Chemical Engineering Journal.
For the first-ever time, scientists at the University of Bayreuth and their collaborators from China and the United States have synthesized a carbon material that does not feature the exactly ordered structures of a crystal but is not amorphous either.
Carnegie's Yingwei Fei and Lin Wang were part of an international research team that synthesized a new ultrahard form of carbon glass with a wealth of potential practical applications for devices and electronics.
Physicists have created a new ultra-thin two-layer material with quantum properties that normally require rare earth compounds.
Forcing electrons to flow perpendicularly to a heat flow requires an external magnetic field – this is known as the Nernst effect. In a permanently magnetized material (a ferromagnet), an anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) exists that can generate electricity from heat even without a magnetic field.
Wound closure is a technique for speeding up the repair of faulty tissue at a surgical site.
