​Researchers observe Nernst Effect in trilayer graphene at zero magnetic field 

The generation of electricity from heat, also known as thermoelectric energy conversion, is advantageous for various real-world applications. For instance, it proved useful for the generation of energy during space expeditions and military missions in difficult environments, as well as for the recovery of waste heat produced from industrial plants, power stations or even vehicles.

The successful conversion of heat into electricity relies on one of two distinct effects, known as the Seebeck effect and the Nernst effect. The Seebeck effect occurs when two dissimilar materials are joined at two junctions that are at different temperatures, which can generate an electric current flowing in the loop. The Nernst effect, on the other hand, entails the generation of a transverse voltage in a material with a temperature gradient.
