When an electric field of 80 MV/m is applied, the polymer films compress, transferring heat to adjacent stacks. As the field alternates, the stacks expand and cool, creating a continuous heat ...

According to a study published in Advanced Materials, University of Washington (UW) researchers have developed a flexible, durable electronic prototype that can harvest energy from body heat and ...

Measuring the efficiency using a heat flux sensor, the team found that power varied with temperature. Between 1,900 to 2,400 degrees Celsius, the new TPV design produced electricity with about 40 ...
