Looks like all that heat generated by your laptop may finally be useful for something other than frying eggs -- a group of grad students led by professor Orest Symko at the University of Utah has ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A solid can serve as a medium for heat and sound wave interactions just like a fluid does for thermoacoustic engines and refrigerators – resulting in leak-free machines that can ...

Modern internal combustion engines have around 500 parts, with many of them moving in concert with the piston. But have you seen an engine with only one moving part, out of four in total? In the ...

HIRATSUKA, Japan, Dec. 12 (UPI) --Scientists in Japan have engineered a refrigerator powered by sound waves. The technology isn't new, but the research team's version of the thermoacoustic engine ...

A group of researchers led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator/heat pump (HDTAR/HDTAHP) for high heating-temperature operation. They ...

Thermoacoustic energy conversion systems utilise the intrinsic coupling between thermal and acoustic phenomena to transform low‐grade heat into usable work or electricity. By leveraging the interplay ...

The energy transition implemented at a global level implies restrictions and regulations that greatly affect the transport sector. The International Energy Agency estimates that 23% of greenhouse gas ...
