Abstract
The rise of global energy demand and the effects of climate change make efficient energy generation one of the main global challenges. Thermomagnetic energy harvesting is a process that allows the genaration of electrical power in the presence of small temperature gradients near room temperature. Ongoing advances rely on improving materials and devices, in hopes of reaching widespread use of this technology, hence reducing our carbon footprint. In this work, the main concepts behind thermomagnetic energy harvesting will be described, focusing on ongoing challenges and recent reports of new approaches and device designs for this promising technology.

期刊介绍:
Europhysics News is the magazine of the European physics community. It is owned by the European Physical Society and produced in cooperation with EDP Sciences. It is distributed to all our Individual Members and many institutional subscribers. Most European national societies receive EPN for further distribution. The total circulation is currently about 25000 copies per issue. It aims to provide physicists at all levels, ranging from post graduate students to senior managers working in both industry and the public sector, with a balanced overview of the scientific and organizational aspects of physics and related disciplines at a European level. Sections covered: ◦Activities ◦Features ◦News and views
