A study exploring the coupling between heat and particle currents in a gas of strongly interacting atoms highlights the fundamental role of quantum correlations in transport phenomena, breaks the revered Wiedemann–Franz law, and should open up an experimental route to testing novel ideas for thermoelectric devices.
