(Nanowerk Spotlight) Heat energy can be converted into electricity with very high efficiency through a temperature-induced electron flow process known as thermionic emission. The basic operating ...
1904: British engineer John Ambrose Fleming invents and patents the thermionic valve, the first vacuum tube. With this advance, the age of modern wireless electronics is born. The principle of ...
Photon-enhanced thermionic emission is a method of solar-energy conversion that promises to combine photon and thermal processes into a single mechanism, overcoming fundamental limits on the ...
Researchers discover a new theory that paves the way for the design of better graphene electronics and energy converters. When a metal is heated to a sufficiently high temperature, electrons can be ...
Typically, if you want to convert solar energy into electrical energy, you use either photovoltaic (PV) cells, or you use the sunlight to create steam to turn a turbine. Both of these methods are well ...
A Spanish-Italian research group has developed a solid-state thermal-to-electric energy converter based on hybrid thermionic-photovoltaics (TIPV) for different applications. It consists of a ...
Typically, if you want to convert solar energy into electrical energy, you use either photovoltaic (PV) cells, or you use the sunlight to create steam to turn a turbine. Both of these methods are well ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Energy technology can be costly and inconvenient for commercial usage due to operational expenses. Atlas Energy Systems, a Purdue University-affiliated startup, is working to ...
What an interesting thing – a new take on thermionic valves for the audio obsessed, base on vacuum fluorescent display technology. According to RS Components, which is stocking the Korg Nutube 6P1 ...
