Why fast-response, non-contact temperature sensing is needed in biomedical research. How thin, transparent film is used to create the Seebeck effect to measure temperature. The instrumentation ...

The Seebeck effect is a thermoelectric phenomenon by which a voltage or current is generated when a temperature difference exists across a conductor. This effect is the basis of established and ...

Composite of thermoelectric and magnetic materials with high thermopower may open up a new way to wide-ranging energy applications A NIMS research team devised a new thermoelectric generation ...

Why heat flux (flow) is an important thermal parameter. How researchers have developed an innovative heat-flux sensor. Details on the performance of this sensor in flat and curved situations. We know ...

Dried leaves convert small temperature differences into electricity through ion movement, offering a natural, biodegradable platform for efficient thermal energy harvesting that rivals engineered ...
