A new way to generate electricity from waste heat: using an antiferromagnet for solid devices (IMAGE)
Caption
Schematics of thermoelectric devices based on the Seebeck effect (a) and Nernst effect (b). The Nernst device needs only one material and eliminates the complex electrical connections required in the Seebeck device, especially at the hot side. B, magnetic field; E, electrical field; ∇T, temperature gradient.
