A team at MIT is working on constructing thermal diodes that are able to convert heat to electricity at lower temperatures than ever before, which may eventually lead to practical uses for thermal ...

exploring how heat and energy behave when quantum mechanical effects dominate. Innovations such as quantum thermal diodes, capable of directing heat flow in a specific direction, and quantum ...

heat is a normal byproduct of electricity. Researchers have now developed a thermal diode: a computer component that runs on heat instead of electricity. This could be the first step towards ...
