A new study has proposed that easily available tech may help humans sustain themselves on the distant world, Mars. Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) propose using thermoelectric ...

For off-grid renewable electricity, solar seems to make sense. Just throw some PV panels on the roof and you’re all set to stick it to the man, right? But the dirty little secret of the king of clean ...

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) use heat—or more accurately, temperature differences—and the well-known Seebeck effect to generate electricity. Their applications range from energy harvesting of ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of Dr. Hyekyoung Choi and Min Ju Yun of Energy Conversion Materials Research Center, Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a technology that can ...

Researchers in South Korea have analyzed the feasibility of using thermoelectric generators in combination with residential solar-assisted ground-source heat pumps and have found that the ...

Researchers from India's Vellore Institute of Technology have developed an experimental system, coupling PV with a thermoelectric generator (TEG) and a graphite sheet as a heat dissipation element.

Wearable computers or devices have been hailed as the next generation of mobile electronic gadgets, from smart watches to smart glasses to smart pacemakers. For electronics to be worn by a user, they ...

The Power Practical PowerPot V is a useful gadget for connected outdoor-types, and $149 seems like a fair price for anywhere charging capability -- whether you're camping under the stars or hanging ...

An experimentator has used waste heat of his body to turn humans into batteries. Nick Zetta, who runs Basically Homeless YouTube channel, turned himself into a battery using thermoelectric generators.

Using flexible conducting polymers and novel circuitry patterns printed on paper, researchers have demonstrated proof-of-concept wearable thermoelectric generators that can harvest energy from body ...

Many wearables have decent enough battery life, but you know what'll make them even better? If we never have to recharge them at all. That's why researchers have been developing small power sources ...
