  • Summary

  • A research team from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has developed a device that uses a special semiconductor component to capture infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and convert it into electricity.The idea of generating electricity after the Sun sets might seem impossible, but the UNSW team has created a new technology to make this a reality, according to a report by Interesting Engineering on September 28. They have tested the device on Earth and are now planning to evaluate its usability in space. Their technology works on the principle of thermoradiative power generation, which involves harnessing the temperature difference between the Earth’s surface and the coldness of space.
