If a heater claims it can warm your whole home for pennies, it’s almost certainly too good to be true. Even the best heater ...

Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have re-engineered the popular Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) for simulating ...

For much of my career, I have been fascinated by the ways in which materials behave when we reduce their dimensions to the nanoscale. Over and over, I've learned that when we shrink a material down to ...

Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this episode of ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could dramatically cut ...

A new magnetic switch that controls the flow of heat has been made by Joäo Ventura and colleagues at the University of Porto in Portugal. At its heart is a cylindrical container that is about three ...

Researchers discovered heat in fusion reactors doesn't diffuse slowly—it executes an American football-style "long pass." ...

When things heat up, spinning electrons go their separate ways. Warming one end of a strip of platinum shuttles electrons around according to their spin, a quantum property that makes them behave as ...

Metals are known as good conductors of both heat and electricity. Regardless of temperature or other factors, typical conductivity does not change. This property is known as the Wiedemann-Franz Law.
