Solar Power Reimagined: New “Black Metal” Device Generates 15x More Electricity

Researchers have developed a solar thermoelectric generator that is 15 times more efficient than the most advanced devices currently available. Researchers seeking greater energy independence have explored solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) as a potential way to produce solar electricity. Unlike the photovoltaic cells found in most solar panels, STEGs can capture various forms of thermal [...]
