This bodes well for a significant increase in efficiency for hybrid electric vehicles, geothermal and even body heat powered electronics not to mention augmented solar cells to increase their output and longevity.

Scientists Discover Better Way To Generate Power From Thermal Sources

"If all goes well, nanostructured thermoelectric devices may be practical for applications such as recycling of waste heat in car engines, on-chip cooling of computer microprocessors and silent, more compact domestic refrigerators."
