Thermoelectrics are materials that can generate electricity from the application of a temperature gradient, or vice versa, through the thermoelectric effect. By exploiting this coupling between ...

Diethyltoluamide (DEET) is the most common active ingredient in high-powered insect repellents and works by forming a vapour barrier on the skin's surface to deter mosquitoes from landing on the skin.

Tiger mosquitoes - which can carry diseases such as dengue fever - have been spotted in all areas of France, and health authorities have advice for the public on how to stop their spread. The insects ...
