The UC Irvine-led team's innovative tech facilitates ultrathin silicon solar cells that could power thermoelectric clothing ... focus on conditioning the light to change pure silicon from an ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known ... for removing heat generated by photonic devices such as laser diodes, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or photodetectors — heat that might otherwise ...

It lets candle light out and uses the heat from the candle flame to generate power for the LEDs. The small Peltier “solid-state heat pump” module in the lantern acts as a thermoelectric ...

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 ...
