A byproduct of aging nuclear weapons stockpiles could help power spacecraft on missions lasting decades. Americium-241, an ...

Micro nuclear reactors are being seen as a way to get critical bases off the grid, but they could also have a major impact on civilian energy production.

Abstract: This research describes a portable power source that harvests energy from waste heat using a thermoelectric generator (TEG). The output voltage and power of TEG depend on the temperature ...

Abstract: Thermoelectric generators are important technology to convert the wasted heat energy to electricity. Here we designed, fabricated, and measured the planar-type silicon thermoelectric ...
