Quantum heat engines, in which the work is generated by quantum mechanical processes, are attractive for outstanding performances 1,2. Particularly, non-thermal states are recognized as useful energy ...

RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal ...

As a popular process in molecular-based diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be employed for amplifying small amounts of DNA/RNA from different sources such as tissue, cells, peripheral ...

Researchers have introduced a new material that offers more efficient conversion of waste heat into clean electricity. Developed by researchers from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), the new ...

Researchers have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Engineers designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high ...

A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a 'transverse' thermoelectric ...
