In addition, the 2008 Award will include a US$1000 contribution to the awardee to cover travel and fees for attending ICT2008 August 3-7, 2007 in Corvallis, Oregon, USA. The European Thermoelectric Society is requesting proposals to host ECT2010, the 8th European Conference on Thermoelectrics, to be held in Europe in 2010. Proposals should be submitted to the ETS President, Prof. Scherrer Hubert.Scherrer [=at=] mines [dot] inpl-nancy [dot] fr, prior to ECT2008 to be held in Paris, France July 2-4, 2008. The ETS Board will make their selection at the annual ETS Board Meeting to be held July 1, 2008. For full consideration, please make submission sufficiently early to allow Prof. Scherrer and the ETS Board to ask questions regarding your proposal. The European Thermoelectric Society (ETS) seeks nominations to join the ETS Board. Three positions will be filled by election at the upcoming ECT2008 to be held July 2-4, 2008 in Paris, France. Anyone who wishes to submit their name in candidacy, or to nominate someone, must send a message of motivation and presentation to: Hubert Scherrer, ETS President, at Hubert.Scherrer [=at=] mines [dot] inpl-nancy [dot] fr The following is an announcement from the President of the International Thermoelectric Society.

Abstract deadline has been exteded to April 15, 2008. A webform to upload your abstract and all further details on ICT2008 are available at the conference website: As early as 1978 Bhandari and Rowe [Bhandari, 1978] suggested improving thermoelectrics by reducing the grain size. Back then 'fine grain' meant maybe micron sized or slightly smaller. But today people are learning to make nano-scale grain structures. A Kansas state regulator denied permits to build two new coal-fired thermoelectric power plants ('thermoelectric' because they convert heat to electricity, but this type of plant does not involve Seebeck or Peltier devices) based on their carbon emmisions. The Kansas legislature passed a bill allowing the plants to go forward, then late last week the Kansas Governor vetoed the bill and halting the project. For now, at least. Here's a link with the full story: The 2008 International Conference on Thermoelectrics (ICT2008) wil be held in Corvalis, Oregon USA August 3-7, 2008. Abstracts are due before April 1, 2008.

But if you simply type "thermoelectric" into a Google search you'll find more pages related to power plants (i.e. generating electricity from heat by burning coal, natural gas, etc.) than related to the solid-state energy conversion technology. Sorting out one meaning from the other is called "disambiguation" on Wikipedia.com. We've tried to create a Google News search which returns pages:
