How do you keep a few sodas in your classroom cool? Well, if you are teacher [Ethan Hunt], you have your students design and build a solid-state mini refrigerator that can beat his prototype fridge.

[Advanced Tinkering] over on YouTube has some pretty unique content, on subjects of chemistry and physics that are a little more, interesting let’s say — anyone fancy distilling cesium? The subject of ...

The researchers studied how electric current created heat flows in a lithium-ion battery cell. The heat flowed opposite to electric current, resulting in a higher temperature on the side where current ...

Thermoelectric materials have garnered significant interest due to their inherent ability to directly convert thermal gradients into electrical energy and vice versa. At the heart of this technology ...

Applying a temperature gradient and a charge current to an electrical conductor leads to the release and absorbtion of heat. This is called the Thomson effect. In a first, NIMS and AIST have directly ...
