A new epoch for the hybrid vehicles is approaching. The Alphabet Energy have created material which can produce electricity due to temperature difference.
The scientists have invented how to use thermal energy in an easy and eco-friendly way. The future of the hybrid vehicles might become even more promising as it is a new additional energy source. This substance was created on the base of natural thermoelectric material tetrahedrite. It can produce electricity due to temperature difference.
It is not a breakthrough technology; however, it had several serious drawbacks, like the use of expensive and toxic materials. Nevertheless, the scientists were able to conquer these features and the new material is absolutely safe. The research in this sphere was led by Don Morelli, a professor of materials science at Michigan State University. So, when purchasing a hybrid vehicle in future, you would know who you need to say thank you to.
