Power plants waste huge amounts of energy as heat—about 40 to 80 percent of the total in the fuel they burn. A new device could reduce that waste, cutting fuel consumption and carbon emissions by as ...

ATS Energy, the developer of the world's first solid-state generator that converts industrial waste heat directly into clean electricity with no moving parts, today welcomed the introduction of the ...

Researchers from Japan have made a new system that can convert waste heat into ...

A new report from Reimagine Appalachia finds that waste heat produced by AI data centers could be reused in surrounding ...

Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and T?hoku University in Japan have now come much closer to their goal of ...

Thermoelectric conversion devices offer a promising route for sustainable heat-to-energy conversion. They are particularly attractive for recovering energy from waste heat, such as that produced by ...

Fuel- and emission-free generators convert low-grade waste heat from diesel generators into power. In 2014, three organic Rankine cycle (ORC) generators were installed to turn the waste heat from ...

(Nanowerk News) Use of waste heat contributes largely to sustainable energy supply. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Tohoku University in Japan have now come much closer to ...

Dallas’ Southern Methodist University is now recycling energy with one of the first commercial electricity generators that use thermoelectricity—the act of drawing power from waste heat. The machine ...

Research Triangle Park, N.C. — Nextreme has developed a miniature, nanostructured thin-film thermoelectric generator (TEG) that converts heat directly into electricity. Suitable for waste heat ...

When given a target functionality, usually a particular pattern of heat conductivity, this algorithm can slowly hone in on the best possible design. The researchers refer to this as "inverse design," ...
