A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

EPFL researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

James Cook University (JCU) research argues Australians urgently need better education about heat to prepare for longer, hotter and more dangerous heat waves driven by climate change.

Scientists have developed a new microscope that significantly improves the way heat flow in materials can be measured. This advancement could lead to better designs for electronic devices and energy ...

The Conversation reports on winter jackets, blending old physics and modern materials to efficiently trap heat, ensuring ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to smartphone chips. Now a set of carefully designed experiments has revealed a ...

As extreme heat claims more lives during ruthless summers in the region, Southern Nevada is upping the ante in its tree planting efforts. But a new study suggests trees alone may not be enough to make ...
