    Thermoelectric Heating Comes In From the Cold
    ...
    ...
    A decade ago, thermoelectric heating--which relies on the
    thermoelectric effect, in which electrons are pulled from one material
    to an adjacent material when both are heated--still required toxic or
    rare materials such as lead and tellurium. Because the thermoelectric
    effect is reversible, it also opens the door to cooling, with none of
    the environmental impact of using liquid refrigerants, or requiring
    industrial waste heat to be recovered as electricity.
