A team of scientists from Northwestern University and Seoul National University has developed a new thermoelectric material. Tin selenide in poly-crystalline form can convert heat into electricity at a higher rate than previous materials. This makes poly-crystalline tin selenide the highest performing thermoelectric material on record.
