Searches for solar-influenced radioactive decay anomalies using Spacecraft RTGs

, 2012
Experiments showing a seasonal variation of the nuclear decay rates of a number of different nuclei, and decay anomalies apparently related to solar flares and solar rotation, have suggested that the Sun may somehow be influencing nuclear decay processes.

Additive Manufacturing of Ni‐Based Thermoelectric Materials for Waste Heat Recovery

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Thermoelectric generators convert waste heat into electricity but are constrained by conventional fabrication. Here, laser powder bed fusion enables direct printing of customised n‐type Cu60Ni40 and p‐type Ni90Cr10 legs. The assembled module achieves 0.8% efficiency at ΔT = 419 K, demonstrating scalable additive manufacturing of eco‐friendly, design ...
