Researchers develop a novel thermoelectric generator inspired by zebra skin

Thermoelectric generators (TEG) are devices that can convert temperature gradients to electricity. Such devices are extremely useful for generating electricity for remote sensors that cannot be connected to the main electricity grid. A conventional TEG is composed of one side (top or bottom) that radiates heat to cool down and the other side that absorbs heat from the sun or the environment.
