The same researchers who pioneered the use of a quantum mechanical effect to convert heat into electricity have figured out how to make their technique work in a form more suitable to industry.

Heating homes accounts for over 70% of household energy consumption, so reducing this figure can cut energy bills and help reduce carbon emissions. 

Demonstrating a concept proposed decades ago but never proven.

Even sooner, the batteries will be used to power drones and provide free Internet to the developing world. 

This could save consumers hundreds of dollars and help work towards a greener planet.

New insights into the mysterious sixth sense.

Battery technology with off-the-charts charging capacity.

Each device can power a mobile phone and costs under $3.
