Thermoelectric coolers (TECs), also known as Peltier coolers, are semiconductor devices that rely on the Peltier effect, discovered in 1834 by the French physicist Jean Charles Athanase Peltier.

[Max Weisel] recently created a Peltier-based cooling/heating system that fits into a backpack. The system uses two Peltier units, each running at 91.2 watts, with computer heat sinks mounted on ...

Ever play with a Peltier plate? They’re these really cool components that kind of look like a ceramic sandwich, and when you put power into them, one side gets hot, and one side gets freezing cold!

A nearly 50-year-long legal saga is coming to an end after President Biden commuted the life prison sentence of Native American activist Leonard Peltier earlier this week. A jury found Peltier guilty ...

They’ll use a traditional compressor alongside a new Peltier module — a semiconductor device that transfers heat from one side to the other when current passes through it. This approach ...
