A collaboration including researchers from Boston College, MIT, the University of Virginia and Clemson University have achieved a peak ZT (thermoelectric figure of merit) of 0.8 for the materials and possibly good enough for consideration for waste heat recovery in automotive exhaust systems. The study by Biswas et al.

Since projects were not assigned from above, the researchers formed their own groups; support for a project depended on how many people its instigator could get to work on it. The group thought it should have a computer of its own. This had its advantages. The phrase was ‘Tom Sawyering,’ ” recalled James G. Mountain View, Calif. “A
