Internal combustion engines have long received flack for how wasteful they are. And while you can't argue about how inefficient they may be, the truth is that internal combustion has led the way for ...

A multi-disciplinary team of researchers linked atomic-scale features to efficient heat-to-electricity conversion, offering ...

PNW scientists have made a flexible “fabric” that converts body heat into electricity. Heat is energy, and most of the heat we produce — from our bodies, kitchens and cars — just dissipates into the ...

A novel hydrovoltaic cell developed by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) can continuously generate electricity using little water and no sunlight. This feature could help deploy the ...

A new thermodynamic design links ion movement and concentration to energy output, creating soft polymer films that generate steady electrical power from tiny temperature differences such as body heat.

Chinese researchers have created the world’s first rubber band that converts body heat into electricity. The breakthrough could allow smartwatches and other wearable devices to charge automatically ...

The system allows the vessel to produce up to 300 kW of electricity by turning low-temperature waste heat from the main engine into usable power.

Muhammad Muddasar is working as Research Assistant in University of Limerick, Ireland. He received funding from Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for this project. If you’ve ever seen ...
