Scientists have created a material that generates energy from temperature changes, hinting at a future where solar power no longer needs panels

Excerpt: "The 'Honeycomb' barrier to break energy loss barriers

"Converting heat into electricity is a rising trend in the engineering world. However, #thermoelectrics have always been considered too inefficient for wide-scale use, until now.

"Scientists from the Seoul National University (#SNU) College of Engineering created a new material with high-performance #thermoelectric properties.

"You can review their study 'Facile and scalable strategy for fabricating dense bulk Ag2Se as a high-performance thermoelectric material,' published in Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials.

"The team’s design is based on #SilverSelenide (#Ag2Se) and operates on the #SeebeckEffect, producing voltage from temperature gradients.

"Blocking heat while boosting the power factor

"Ag2Se was scaled into nanoflakes and arranged in a honeycomb-like layout.

"Heat-carrying vibrations (#phonons) are scattered in the structure, preventing the temperature from leveling across the material.

"The material was 'doped' with #silver, which boosted the power factor by 300%, enabling electron flow despite the thermal barrier.

"This breakthrough in thermoelectric materials effectively renders the need for panels unnecessary.

"The highly efficient, thin, and flexible film has a series of application possibilities. Building integration enables solar power production from heat during the day and energy harvesting as the building cools at night.

"Flexible thermoelectric patches can power IoT devices, eliminating the use of batteries. Using the material at data centers creates a circular energy economy within digital infrastructure itself."

Officials in #Cuba report an island-wide #blackout in the country of some 11 million people as its #energy & economic crises deepen.

The Ministry of Energy & Mines reported on X a “complete disconnection” of the country’s #electric system & says it is investigating.

President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Friday warned that the island had not received #oil shipments in >3 months & that it was operating on #solar power, natural #gas & #thermoelectric plants.

🔄 The Peltier Effect: When electricity moves heat

In 1834, Jean‑Charles Peltier discovered an electric current could make one junction cool while another warms. This thermoelectric effect powers portable coolers, stabilizes lasers, and regulates spacecraft instruments, all without moving parts.

👀 Ah, the age-old tale of #lasers and #thermoelectric generators—because obviously, what clean energy needed was a 15-fold increase in jargon and buzzwords. 🚀 Apparently, all it took was some femtosecond laser magic and a healthy dose of thermal management—because who knew solar power wasn't just about sunshine and rainbows? 🌞✨

Quite a while ago, I created a curated list of books/software/resources useful for #thermoelectric materials research and called it "Introduction to Thermoelectricity". Recently I carried out a huge update, and now I want to share it with everyone in the hope that it will be helpful: https://tinyurl.com/ateguide
In general, this guide represents my subjective experience (books that I read, soft that I use, and so on), so any recommendations and comments are really welcome.
