Next-generation solid ‘sandwich’ crystal designed to convert waste heat into electricity
SMRTR summary
Researchers in Tokyo created a solid crystal material that converts waste heat into electricity by mimicking ultra-thin atomic films inside a bulkier, more practical structure. The crystal blocks heat while allowing electricity to flow, though toxicity concerns and efficiency challenges must be solved before real-world use.
