Researchers at Caltech have created a new material made out of silicon. This material could lead to thermoelectric devices being more efficient. This material has a very different design that makes it difficult for heat to escape. This design also allows electricity to flow. In order to make thermoelectric materials energy efficient the thermal conductivity [...]
