Thomas Johann Seebeck (1770–1831) was a German physicist and a pioneer in thermoelectricity, best known for discovering the Seebeck effect. The Seebeck effect is the phenomenon where a voltage (an electromotive force) is generated when there is a temperature difference between two different conductive materials or semiconductors. This discovery laid the foundation for the field of thermoelectric materials and devices, which convert heat into electrical energy and vice versa.
