Thermoelectrics directly convert heat into electricity and power a wide array of items -- from NASA's Perseverance rover currently exploring Mars to travel coolers that chill beverages.
A Clemson University physicist has joined forces with collaborators from China and Denmark to create a new and potentially paradigm-shifting high-performance thermoelectric compound.
A material's atomic structure, which is how atoms arrange themselves in space and time, determines its properties. Typically, solids are crystalline or amorphous. In crystals, atoms are in an orderly and symmetrical pattern. Amorphous materials have randomly distributed atoms.

A Christmas Carol for 2020


A Christmas Carol for 2020

In many ways, though it was Christmas, the nation was sad. Racked by a recent severe recession, the country faced a public health menace of epidemic proportions. There was widespread hunger and a seemingly uncontrolled entry of a large number of immigrants trying to escape grinding poverty. To top it off, there had been rioting in major cities to the point that the military was called on to maintain peace.
No, I am not talking about America in 2020.
This was Great Britain in 1843, the year Charles Dickens published
A Christmas Carol. In doing so, he gave us characters, including Ebenezer Scrooge, Marley, Bob Cratchit, and Tiny Tim, who each became immortal. Written in just six weeks and motivated by the author’s desire to feed a growing family, as well as to raise awareness of the misery suffered by vast numbers of poor people, the short novel was an instant success.

Study explores new parasitic worm that affects reproduction in Caribbean spiny lobster


Study explores new parasitic worm that affects reproduction in Caribbean spiny lobster
A Clemson University researcher is studying how a new parasitic worm he discovered and named after comedian and late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien affects reproduction in the Caribbean spiny lobster.
J. Antonio Baeza, an associate professor with the College of Science's Department of Biological Sciences, discovered the new species of nemertean worm belonging to the genus Carcinonemertes while researching parental behaviors and reproductive performance of the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus in the Florida Keys.
Caribbean spiny lobsters, which get their name from the forward-pointing spines that cover their bodies, live in the Atlantic Ocean's tropical and subtropical waters as far north as North Carolina, as well as the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
