Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one direction while blocking it in the reverse.

Turning heat into electricity Heat is a form of energy, yet much of the heat we produce in our world — in factories, vehicles and even with our bodies — just vanishes into the air.

Researchers in China have developed a hermetic hydrovoltaic cell that can generate electricity using ambient heat, little water and no sunlight.
