Engineers 'cook' promising new heat-harvesting nanomaterials in microwave oven

- (Science Daily) - 7 months, 3 weeks ago...

Waste heat is a byproduct of nearly all electrical devices and industrial processes, from driving a car to flying an aircraft or operating a power plant. Engineering researchers have developed new nanomaterials that could lead to techniques for better capturing and putting this waste heat to work. The key ingredients for making marble-sized pellets of the new material are aluminum and a common, everyday microwave oven....
