Theory predicts that phonons—quanta of lattice vibrations—can carry finite angular momentum and thus influence physical properties of materials. Now phonons with angular momentum have been seen in tellurium with a chiral crystal structure.

Elated to learn that our work on Evapolectrics has been featured as cover for @acsnano ! 😊 For our young team it is a very nice encouragement for us to keep working hard and push for our own unique research direction!

When a charge current, a temperature gradient and a magnetic field are applied orthogonally to each other, a conductor is expected to heat or cool. This so-called transverse Thomson effect has now been observed for a bismuth–antimony alloy.

Can we design materials that are both strong and stretchable — even ceramics or glass?

In our new @NatureMaterials paper, we show how combining stiff and compliant architectures can create metamaterials that are stiff, tough, and stretchable. @MITMechE
First is always memorable! Glad to have our first work @CUHK online! This is our first (or in fact, second) venture into water evaporation. In this work, we combined thermoelectric with water evaporation from hydrogel to harvest electricity. Such direct harvesting from evaporation enthalpy energy has indeed proven to be more effective than traditional hydrovoltaics. Also due to the distinctive mechanisms of this direction, we coined the device as "Evapolectrics" aka evaporation-driven electricity. I'm lucky to have good student, Zichen! many more works to come, stay tuned! Link: https://t.co/AuLBotgHZ1
📣We are preparing our next free webinar!
Join us on Tuesday 18th March to get insights on the #thermoelectric devices being developed in the projects START and THERMOS projects.
