Silicon and rhenium make transverse electricity from heat

A layered crystal of rhenium and silicon can produce electricity at right angles to heat flowing through it, according to Ohio State University. This is not the first time that ‘transverse thermoelectricity’ has been demonstrated but, according to the researchers, it is the first time it has shown notable efficiency. It works when the internal ...
