Silicon semiconductors to convert heat into power

Deutsche Welle – German scientists have found that enriched silicon nanoparticles can turn waste heat into electricity. The silicon semiconductors are even cheap to produce. First, steam is converted into pressure. The pressure is then sent through turbines or piston systems. There, kinetic energy is created. And that in turn produces electric power with the help of generators. But scientists from the University of Duisburg-Essen have found a short cut. Read article
