What gives? Well, all these novelty “mini-fridges” have one last thing in common: They're actually thermoelectric coolers. We wouldn't blame you if you didn't notice that detail, because all ...

Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have developed a groundbreaking method to produce ...

The running gear for this build is nothing fancy; it’s just a standard thermoelectric cooling module and a fan. The trick was getting the airflow over the module right. [Ben] uses two air inlets ...

Neil Savage looks at thermoelectric coolers based on the Peltier effect that are designed for this task. Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier coolers, are semiconductor devices ...

A group of researchers from South Africa's Central University of Technology has designed a solar module integrating a cooling system relying on a thermoelectric cooler (TEC). TECs can convert heat ...

Thermoelectric coolers, also called solid-state refrigerators, can induce localized cooling by using an electric current to transfer heat from one side of the device to another. Their long ...

Thermoelectric cooling has been suggested as one such alternative, building on the successful use of thermoelectric cooler/heaters in car seats 4. The US Department of Energy recently announced a ...

ISTA researchers develop thermoelectric materials for 3D printing - greatly improving manufacturing efficiency and reducing ...
