If you’ve ever seen yourself through a thermal imaging camera, you’ll know that your body produces lots of heat. This is in fact a waste product of our metabolism. Every square foot of the human body ...

Researchers have found a new way to improve a key element of thermophotovoltaic systems, which convert heat into electricity via light. Engineers designed a thermal emitter that can deliver high ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...

Muhammad Muddasar is working as Research Assistant in University of Limerick, Ireland. He received funding from Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for this project. If you’ve ever seen ...

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. Now, a study published in ACS Applied Materials & ...

A new heat-to-energy converter has reached a record efficiency of 44% – the average steam turbine manages about 35%, for comparison. This thermophotovoltaic cell is a major step on the way to ...

From kinetic and potential to chemical and sound, various forms of energy exist on our planet. Each has its own properties and fuel processes that make aspects of life possible, including driving a ...
