Japanese researchers have found a new spin on the old themo-electric generator game of minimising thermal conductivity while maximising output power, achieving of 12μW/cm2 from a thermal difference of only 5ºC. From Waseda, Osaka and Shizuoka Universities, the team has turned to a novel arrangement silicon nano-wires. “Due to advantages such as its relatively low thermal conductance but ...
