Das Bild zeigt eine blaue Plane, die an einem Geländer befestigt ist. Auf der Plane steht in großen, weißen Buchstaben der Text "KEIN DING OHNE ING." Darunter ist in kleinerer Schrift der Name "Ingenieurkammer-Bau Nordrhein-Westfalen" und die Website "www.kein-ing.de" zu sehen. Die Plane scheint in einem Bauplatz zu sein, da im Hintergrund ein Sichtschutz aus Metall und Glas zu erkennen ist. Die Plane ist leicht gefaltet und hat einige Falten, was darauf hindeutet, dass sie im Wind weht oder von der Sonne gezeichnet wurde.

Better Solid State Heat Pumps Through Science
If you need to cool something, the gold standard is using a gas compressor arrangement. Of course, there are definite downsides to that, like weight, power consumption, and vibrations. There are solid-state heat pumps — the kind you see in portable coolers, for example. But, they are not terribly efficient and have limited performance.
However, researchers at Johns Hopkins, working with Samsung, have developed a new thin-film thermoelectric heat pump, which they claim is easy to fabricate, scalable, and significantly more efficient. You can see a video about the new research below.
Manufacturing requires similar processes to solar cells, and the technology can make tiny heat pumps or — in theory — coolers that could provide air conditioning for large buildings. You can read the full paper in Nature.
CHESS stands for Controlled Hierarchically Engineered Superlattice Structures. These are nano-engineered thin-film superlattices (around 25 μm thick). The design optimizes their performance in this application.
The new devices claim to be 100% more efficient at room temperature than traditional devices. In practical devices, thermoelectric devices and the systems using them have improved by around 70% to 75%. The material can also harvest power from heat differences, such as body heat. The potential small size of devices made with this technology would make them practical for wearables.
We’ve looked at the traditional modules many times. They sometimes show up in cloud chambers.

The image depicts a futuristic scene with multiple large, industrial-looking spacecraft floating in the sky above a reddish-orange planet. The spacecraft are predominantly white with some red accents and feature complex structures, including antennas and protruding elements. They are arranged in a staggered formation, with some closer to the viewer and others further away, creating a sense of depth. The planet's surface is visible in the background, with a gradient of orange hues suggesting a thick atmosphere. The overall color palette is dominated by shades of orange and brown, contributing to a desolate and otherworldly atmosphere. The scene is devoid of any visible life forms or activity, emphasizing the mechanical and industrial nature of the setting.

in reply to Douglas E. Welch • • •The image features a large, well-preserved skeleton of a prehistoric animal, likely a large mammal, displayed in a museum setting. The skeleton is positioned upright, with its head tilted back and one arm raised, showcasing the detailed structure of the bones. The ribcage is prominent, with the ribs clearly visible, and the skull is positioned above the body, revealing the eye sockets and teeth. The bones are a light beige color, contrasting with the dark background, which enhances the visibility of the skeleton. The lighting is focused on the skeleton, highlighting its features and creating a dramatic effect. The background is dark, with no other objects or distractions, allowing the viewer to focus entirely on the skeleton.
