Hear about how a new clothing line in Japan is helping to trim more than two million tons of greenhouse gas emissions and learn how engineers in Iceland are turning volcanic heat into usable power.

We're also working to make sure that we can start turning things like plants and woodchips into heat, power, and biofuels, and that will create new economic opportunities for rural communities.

The vehicle is powered by what is essentially a nuclear battery that converts heat into electricity providing power to Curiosity's instruments as well as generating warmth during the frigid Martian nights.

By 2015 or so, the average silicon chip will consume about 150 watts of electrical power, turning this into heat a thought which is already taxing the minds of some engineers.

By tapping into underground volcanic heat, geothermal plants can generate almost limitless clean power.

Solar panels that heat pools or power handheld calculators rely on silicon semiconductors to turn light into electrons.

Less power means less heat, so RLX can cram 336 blade servers into a standard rack.

Its wafers, dubbed silicon-on-insulator, or SOI, can go into standard chipmaking equipment but are engineered to reduce power consumption, and thus heat, by up to 50%.

IMechE says this process is only 25% efficient but it is massively improved by co-siting the cryo-generator next to an industrial plant or power station producing low-grade heat that is currently vented and being released into the atmosphere.
