Machines and electronic devices often generate waste
heat that is difficult to utilize. If electricity could be
generated from this waste heat, it would offer a means for a clean
and sustainable power production: Such a technology would be
ideally suited for low-power electronics applications such as
wearables or low-cost Internet-of-Things devices. This includes,
for example, wearable (medical) devices and sensors, with a wide
range of applications in the healthcare and sports industry, in
smart buildings and mobility applications.
