According to Japanese researchers, using quantum says that avoiding thermalization enables energy harvesters to cross the traditional thermoditic limits. The team developed a new approach using non -thermal tomuna looter liquid to convert waste heat with much performance than the traditional point of view. These results pave the way for more sustainable low -power electronics and quantum computing.
Energy -cutting, or energy -earning equipment, electronics and industrial processes are more efficient. We are surrounded by garbage heat, which is manufactured everywhere through computers, smartphones, power plants, and factory equipment. Energy -cutting technologies offer a way to recycle the lost energy into useful electricity, which reduces our dependence on other sources of electricity.
However, traditional energy harvesting methods are forced by thermodnamics laws. In systems depending on thermal balance, these rules impose basic hats on heat conversion efficiency, which describes the proportion of the generated electricity and the heat extracted from the heat of waste, for example, known as the performance of the carnot. Such thermodentic boundaries, such as Crzone-Berborn performance, which are the heat change performance under the state to achieve maximum electrical strength, has limited the amount of useful strength that can be extracted from the waste heat.
Now, in collaboration with Japan’s senior prominent researcher Koji Moroki, Japan’s senior prominent researcher Koji Moroki, in collaboration with Japan’s senior prominent researcher Koji Moraki, is a research team headed by Professor Tosimasa Fuzzava, a senior researcher from Japan’s senior researcher. Appeared in their dissertation Communications Physics On September 30, 2025, the team introduced a novel energy harvesting technique that is beyond the traditional thermodentic boundaries that use unique quantum states to achieve these utilities.
Instead of relying on traditional thermal states, researchers used non -thermal tomuna Lutaneger (TL) liquid properties. It is a special type of a dimensional electron system that is not thermalization due to its quantum nature. This means that when the heat is introduced, the system takes on its non -thermal, high energy state, rather than spreading the energy equally, as is in the traditional thermal system.
The research team designed an experience to show this concept’s ability. They were waste heat from the quantum point transistor. It is a device that controls electron flow in a TL liquid. This non -thermal heat was transferred to several micrometers into a quantum dot heat engine, which is a microscope device that converts heat through quantum effects. Researchers found that this unconventional source of heat has developed a significant more power voltage and has performed much better than the traditional, semi -thermalized heat source.
“These results encourage us to use TL liquids as non -thermal energy resources for new energy harvesting designs.”
Subsequently, researchers developed a model based on binary frame distribution to provide details of non -thermal electron states in the proposed system. Using this, he showed that his techniques not only cross the performance of the carnot but also Karzon Abburn performance, which describes the maximum power output of traditional heat engines.
Overall, this research opens the door to a new generation of energy harvesting, taking advantage of non -thermal quantum states. “Our results show that the heat that was lost from quantum computers and electronic devices can be converted into a useable force through high -performance energy harvesting,” Fuzzava remarked.
