The discovery — described in the December 17, 2010, issue of Science — is a new “opposite-direction” phase transition that helps explain the strong thermoelectric response […]

The effort is funded with a $1.4 million, three-year grant from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. A Purdue University team is collaborating with General Motors, which is developing a prototype […]
