Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

A meteorite that fell in Germany in 1724 contains a form of silica that conducts heat in a stable manner and baffles physicists.

For the first time, scientists have directly measured the amount of heat flowing from the molten metal of Earth’s core into a region at the base of the mantle, a process that helps drive both the ...

Light exposure switches heat flow in barium titanate by altering its structure, offering a reversible method for dynamic thermal control in ferroelectric materials. (Nanowerk Spotlight) We can switch ...

Control of heat flow is crucial for thermal logic devices and thermal management, with theoretical exploration preceding limited experimental progress in actively controlling heat flow. The device ...

There are two golden rules to thermal design: start simple and start early. The heat-flow path from the junction to the ambient, usually air in the local environment, determines a component’s ...

A Slovenian research group has proposed using a heat pump booster instead of vapor compression technologies in low-temperature district-heating substations and has found that this combination may ...
