A research team devised a new thermoelectric generation mechanism with a hybrid structure composed of thermoelectric and magnetic materials. The team then actually fabricated this structure and ...

Thermoelectrics — materials that convert heat to electrical energy and vice-versa — currently find everyday use in portable refrigerators and waste heat electrical generators. However, devices made of ...

In the beam of light emitted by a laser pointer, photons travel predominantly along one direction and the beam is therefore said to be collimated. The electric field carried by these photons is ...

This paper is the first direct demonstration of the transverse thermoelectric generation in WSi 2, and the results could pave the way for more efficient thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

Transverse flux machines (TFMs) represent a significant evolution in electric machine design, notable for their unique magnetic flux orientation that is perpendicular to the rotor axis. This ...

Can you imagine sound travels in the same way as light does? A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely ...
