Novel carbon nanotube yarns can generate electricity from waste heat

In line with global efforts towards sustainability, the development of energy harvesting technologies has become a top research priority. Although renewable energy sources like wind and solar power have recently taken the spotlight, waste heat also stands as a largely untapped source of energy. Using thermoelectric materials, industrial waste heat can be harvested and converted into electrical energy, which can help increase the efficiency of industrial processes. In line with global efforts towards sustainability, the development of energy harvesting technologies has become a top research priority.
