Researchers studied how the electrical and optical behaviour of a sheet of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) changed with temperature and explored the role of imperfections in its electrical and optical properties.

Scientists from Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, find a way to convert undesirable heat energy from electronic devices to electricity and reconverting this into electricity using the concept of thermoelectric effect - a physical phenomenon where a difference in the temperature between two contacts leads to a difference in the voltage, and hence flow of electricity.
