Researchers from MIT, with colleagues from IISc in Bangalore, India and HiPi Consulting in Maryland have experimentally demonstrated the conversion of heat to electricity using thermal diodes with efficiency as high as 40% of the Carnot Limit. There’s a gold mine in waste heat, if you could convert it. Arrows represent couplings.

However, if stretch productivity targets are met and more effective and efficient dewatering technologies are used (or if a large fraction of the thermal energy input in drying is ‘renewable’ or ‘waste’ heat), this technology set can have a favorable energy balance and provide GHG mitigation benefits relative to petroleum-derived fuels.

The DIGIT touch sensor is based on the GelSight style of sensor, which was first conceptualized at MIT over a decade ago. ReSkin operates on a fairly simple concept: it's a flexible sheet of 2mm thick silicone with magnetic particles carelessly mixed in. DIGIT is open source, so you can make one on your own, but that's a hassle.

Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants. And unlike conventional nuclear fission, fusion comes with no risk of meltdowns or weaponization, and no long-lived nuclear waste.
