Heat has always been the hardest part of the spectrum to hide, yet a new experiment that boosts thermal scattering by a ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

This groundbreaking study in Advanced Science introduces a practical, non-passive way to manipulate thermal signatures.

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

From the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 to the now-routine return of commercial spacecraft, heat shields—formally called thermal protection systems—are critical for protecting ...

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 ...

A new study could influence how scientists design diamond-based quantum technologies, including ultra-precise sensors and ...
