Tiny Temperature Change Sparks Huge Electrical Signal, Shattering Century-Old Limit

Scientists have surpassed a century-old threshold on turning heat into electricity by engineering a crystalline semiconductor that generates a thermoelectric response up to a thousand times larger than traditional materials. According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, researchers from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), … Read more

New Thin Film Breakthrough Enhances Heat Sensor Sensitivity

Bengaluru Researchers Develop More Sensitive Scandium Nitride Thin-Film Material for Heat Detection According to researchers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), a new thin-film material made from scandium nitride generates an unusually large electrical signal when subjected to a temperature difference. The material produces a voltage response exceeding 124 millivolts per … Read more
