  • Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have developed a groundbreaking method to produce thermoelectric materials using 3D printing. This innovation reduces production costs and enhances performance,

The article from MSN discusses the development of 3D-printed thermoelectric materials by the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). These materials are designed to enhance cooling efficiency in various applications, including electronics and refrigeration. The innovation lies in the use of 3D printing technology to create complex structures that improve the thermoelectric properties of materials like bismuth telluride. This approach not only allows for better heat management but also reduces the cost and environmental impact of cooling systems. The research, led by Professor Janek Konert, focuses on optimizing the structure at the microscale to maximize the efficiency of converting temperature differences into electrical voltage, thereby offering a sustainable alternative to traditional cooling methods.
