Efficient conversion of heat into electricity is being researched by scientists at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi through the development of thermoelectric materials. Recently, solar energy has received a lot of attention, but other alternative sources are equally promising, although less well known. Ajay Soni, an assistant professor at IIT Mandi, is researching materials that can convert heat into electricity. This is completely different from solar energy. The process does not require very large equipment or very hot, massive objects like the sun. Sony said that many electronic…
