Three dimensional printing technologies represent a manufacturing revolution because of their unique capabilities for increasing shape complexity while reducing waste material, capital cost and design for manufacturing. However, the application...
Read morePowering the IoT revolution with heat
Standard silicon CMOS technology can create thermoelectric micro-harvesters that could be used to power numerous IoT devices as Albert Tarancon explains in his last publication in Nature.
Read moreWaste heat recovery with the most abundant element: Silicon
Large amounts of waste heat generated in our fossil-fuel based economy can be converted into useful electric power by using the so-called thermoelectric generators. These power generators use temperature differences to generate...
Read moreA new Queen in the realm of the interfaces
Interfaces and surfaces are where the action happens, especially in the field of energy where catalytic reactions, adsorption of molecules, fast movement of charges or many other relevant phenomena take place in the limit between two different...
