By using controlled microwave noise, researchers created a quantum refrigerator capable of operating as a cooler, heat engine, or amplifier. This approach offers a new way to manage heat directly ...

Free-floating planets, or as they are more commonly known, rogue planets, wander interstellar space completely alone. Saying there might be a lot of them is a bit of an understatement. Recent ...

Supercomputers are capable of a mind-boggling number of calculations and one of them just found a flaw in a piece of ...

On paper, many of the world’s most famous weapons looked like reliable successes. In practice, desert sand, jungle humidity, and arctic cold often had other ideas. Systems that performed well in ...

For the second straight game, a full-strength Miami Heat team lost in a blowout, falling 123-99 to the Indiana Pacers on January 10. All-Star guard Tyler Herro returned to the starting lineup for the ...

The Miami Heat have many problems that are starting to come up. The lack of shooting has been discussed at length. The lack of size is another topic that keeps showing up. Health will always be a ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a thermoacoustic Stirling heat pump prototype that offers high thermal performance, a peak coefficient of performance of 1.68, and potential ...

The Miami Heat are usually linked to superstar players when they come on the trade market. A couple of years ago, they were linked to Damian Lillard. That trade ended up not happening, but the Heat ...

It's tradition for fans to obsess about the five who take the floor at the start. Which players are introduced? Which players get a chance to set the tone? The Miami Heat under Erik Spoelstra, however ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists created an engine made of only silica particles suspended an electric field, and cranked temperatures up high enough to rival the Sun’s ...

The hottest engine ever created is, by some definitions, not an engine and not particularly hot. But it reveals the weird physics of extreme temperatures at the microscale. The engine is made of a ...

Simulating physics is central to robotics: before a robot ever moves in the real world, much of its learning, testing, and control happens in a virtual environment. But traditional simulators often ...
