Inherent in their name, solid-state batteries use, well, solid electrolytes instead of liquid. Toyota says the new battery ...

researchers are exploring innovative solid-state cooling alternatives. Among them, the electrocaloric (EC) effect stands out, offering a direct method to convert electricity into heat. Published ...

Microvast Holdings has made progress in developing its True All-Solid-State Battery (ASSB) technology. This advancement ...

Six Fraunhofer institutes are developing new electrocaloric heat pumps that use elastocaloric heat pipes instead of compressors to extract heat from the sources. The first pilot systems developed by ...

This is where solid-state relays (SSRs ... In my test I’m using it to control a 47W fan using 220VAC, 50Hz mains power. A heat sink was not judged necessary for this quick test, but I added ...

Peltier effect modules, also known as solid-state heat pumps, used to be exotic tech but are now quite common. They are actually the reverse of the Kelvin effect. Thermocouples exploit the Kelvin ...

Highly efficient solid-state heat pumps without compressors – that is the vision of Fraunhofer researchers. With the recent completion of the ElKaWe research project, they took a big step towards ...
