Market Selloff Presents Good Opportunity to Accumulate ETH While It is Undervalued Says PrimeXBT Analyst Kim Chua

US, Jun 30, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - News flows the past week has centred around BTC's big flash dip and about how long-term investors are taking the chance to accumulate more BTC. However, no one seems to be talking about the second largest coin, ETH. Is ETH a good buy at these levels?The rise in DeFi is the single largest contributor towards the demand for ETH in this bull run as ETH is used both as a collateral as well as a fuel to use the ETH blockchain for yield-farming. While other developments like NFTs also contribute to the popularity of ETH, by and large, 90% of the demand for ETH has been for DeFi usage so far. Thus, to study if ETH is a worthwhile investment now, our focus should still be on DeFi, specifically, the trend about DeFi going forward.ETH, while being the undisputed leader in DeFi, has seen some competition from other blockchains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Polygon (MATIC). Part of the argument against ETH in DeFi use has been its high gas fee and slow speed, which has caused both yield-farmers and protocols to migrate to other cheaper blockchains like BSC and Polygon (MATIC). This resulted in some value from the ETH blockchain moving ...

Spinning electricity from heat and cold

TSUKUBA, Japan, Jun 29, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - A new device harvests two types of energy during the daytime, making it cool on one end and hot on the other, to generate electricity around the clock. With further improvements, the device could be used in off-grid Internet-of-things sensors. The details were published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.Thermal emission is radiated from the top of the device, keeping it cool, while sunlight is absorbed at the bottom, keeping that part warm. The temperature gradient and types of materials used lead to the generation of a spin current that is converted to thermoelectric voltage.Scientists have known for at least 200 years that electricity can be generated from a temperature gradient, a phenomenon called thermoelectric generation. Recently, researchers have developed thermoelectric conversion technologies by changing material parameters and introducing new principles. For example, researchers have found that magnetic materials can generate thermoelectric voltage by inducing a flow of electron spins along a temperature gradient, called the spin Seebeck effect, and that increasing a device's leng...
