Principles of spin-based solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion Prof. Joseph, P. HEREMANS Thermoelectric power generation (TEG) is used in applications such as the Mars Rover or in interplanetary space probes where the advantages of solid-state heat conversion outweigh its main disadvantage: a low thermal efficiency.

Nonlinear shear flow of model entangled polymers: experiments and modeling Understanding and modeling the nonlinear flow properties of entangled polymeric liquids is mandatory for further optimization of industrial processing techniques and applications of such complex fluids.
