Quantum computation is helping uncover materials that turn wasted heat into electricity

Quantum computation is helping uncover materials that turn wasted heat into electricity A new approach to predict materials’ properties has sped up the process of identifying more than 500 thermoelectric materials Making great strides towards broad applications The transformation of heat into electrical energy by thermoelectric materials is based on the “Seebeck effect.” In 1826, German physicistThomas Johann Seebeck observed that exposing the ends of joined pieces of dissimilar metals to different temperatures generated a magnetic field, which was later recognized to be caused by an electric current....
