Spacecraft near the Earth use large solar panels to harness the Sun for the electricity needed to run their communications systems and science instruments. However, the farther into space you go, the ...

This phenomenon is known as the Seebeck effect, which is the basis for thermocouple temperature measurements. There are many types of thermocouples made up of various metal combinations. These ...

Scientists have unlocked a new understanding of mesoporous silicon, a nanostructured version of the well-known semiconductor. Unlike standard silicon, its countless tiny pores give it unique ...

Silicon is the best-known semiconductor material. However, controlled nanostructuring drastically alters the material's ...

This was particularly evident from measurements of the Seebeck effect, which probe the electrical voltage across a sample when it is exposed to a temperature difference along a defined direction.

TEGs can convert heat into electricity through the “Seebeck effect,” which occurs when a temperature difference between two different semiconductors produces a voltage difference between two ...

“Thermoelectric devices are solid-state devices that operate on the principle of the Seebeck effect for power generation and on the Peltier effect for cooling operation,” explained the ...

Dr. Seebeck has extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with autism, ADHD, and learning differences, as well as medical conditions affecting cognition. She has ...
