A cool advance in thermoelectric conversion

MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering

In a topological Weyl semimetal, the electronic properties are controlled by Weyl fermions, which do not possess any mass and to some extent resemble photons. When an external magnetic field is applied, these Weyl fermions are able to convert waste heat into electricity extremely effectively and efficiently.

Power-free system harnesses evaporation to keep items cool

MIT researchers have developed a two-layer passive cooling system, made of hydrogel and aerogel, that can keep foods and pharmaceuticals cool for days without the need for electricity. In this photo showing a close-up of the two-layer material, the upper layer consists of aerogel and the bottom layer of hydrogel.

3 Questions: Fatih Birol on post-Covid trajectories in energy and climate

"Five recent emerging developments are making me increasingly optimistic about how quickly the world may shift to cleaner energy and achieve the kind of structural declines in greenhouse gas emissions that are needed to achieve international climate and sustainable energy goals," says Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency.
