Thermoelectric devices consist of a pair of semiconductors placed between metalized plates and work by harnessing a temperature differential between the two sides to produce electricity. NASA’s ...

According to Nature, two theoretical physicists have used the Brownian motion to design a molecular-scale refrigerator powered by 'nano' paddles. And they think that this Brownian refrigerator will ...

Researchers at UCLA have created what they have termed the world's smallest refrigerator. When most of us think of a fridge, we think of the machine sitting in the kitchen that keeps meat frozen and ...

A team led by UCLA physics professor Chris Regan has succeeded in creating thermoelectric coolers that are only 100 nanometers thick and have developed an innovative new technique for measuring their ...
