(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. The basic operating ...
Typically, if you want to convert solar energy into electrical energy, you use either photovoltaic (PV) cells, or you use the sunlight to create steam to turn a turbine. Both of these methods are well ...
A Spanish-Italian research group has developed a solid-state thermal-to-electric energy converter based on hybrid thermionic-photovoltaics (TIPV) for different applications. It consists of a ...

Ever drive by a power plant, gaze at its obtrusive cooling towers and think, “There goes a monument to wasted thermal energy.” Well, RTI International is heading a project to push the fold in ...
A renewable energy project has received funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Pursuing new approaches to harvesting thermal energy using nanodiamond, it has been ...
(Nanowerk News) When scientists Daniel Riley and Jared Schwede left Stanford University last year to join Cyclotron Road, a Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) program for ...
A project pursuing new approaches to harvesting thermal energy using nanodiamond has been awarded funding by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Dr Neil Fox in the School of ...
AN account by Mr. T. Rich of a recent High Tension Congress at Paris is given in the Electrician beginning on July 28. The problems of the use of direct current for power transmission and the many ...
