Mechanical engineers at the University of California, Riverside, have successfully used inexpensive materials to produce thermoelectric devices that transform low-level waste heat into electricity. The spin to charge conversion takes place in the NM (usually heavy metal) due to inverse spin-Hall effect. —Sandeep Kumar.
