At the smallest scales, heat engines can do more than Carnot ever imagined. Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have ...

This study was led by Prof. Xiaoqing Gao (Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources， Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Yaoming Ma (Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese ...

(brief explanation) From the perspective of the spatial distribution, the Qaidam Basin was the region with a high atmospheric heat engine efficiency, reaching more than 2% in May and September, even ...

People generate lots of waste heat. It makes sense that there is a desire to convert that heat into usable energy. The problem is one of efficiency. Researchers from MIT and the National Renewable ...

MIT says its new solid-state thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for ...

Challenging centuries-old assumptions about thermodynamics, a new study in published in Physical Review Letters has shown that it is theoretically possible to design a heat engine that achieves ...

Researchers at MIT have built a highly efficient thermophotovoltaic cell that, when paired with renewable resources, efficiently converts incoming photons—particles of light—to electricity. It’s an ...
