Dr. Ray Baughman, Director of the Alan G. MacDiarmid Nanotech Institute at the University of Texas Dallas; and Dr. Renchong Hu, visiting scholar from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China

Their breakthrough in development of new thermocells using nanotube electrodes are yielding a threefold increase in energy conversion efficiency over conventional electrodes. These will bring a dramatic increase in harvesting thermal energy currently wasted in industrial plants and along pipelines, and in solar cell collectors which generate a huge amount of heat.
