Surprise Finding Heightens Concern Over Tiny Bits Of Plastic Polluting Our Oceans 24 Mar 2015 Scientists are looking for -- and finding -- little bits of plastic in a lot of places lately: ice cores, deep sea sediments, coral SUTD team proposes low-temperature thermionic converter with graphene cathode; about 45% efficiency 09 Mar 2015 Researchers at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) are proposing that it is possible to design an efficient graphene-cathode-based thermionic energy converter (TIC)—a device for converting heat to electricity leveraging the phenomenon of thermionic emission, or the release of electrons from a hot body—operating at around 900 K (626 °C) or lower, as compared with a conventional metal-based cathode TIC operating at about 1500 K (1227 °C).
