Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while we have become reasonably good at storing solar electricity in lithium-ion ...

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

Shilpa Vijay is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. Her work explores how air moves over complex surfaces at high speeds. In this Postdoc Portrait, she discusses how she is fueled by her ...

Engineers working with the Pentagon’s advanced research arm and a Seattle startup say they are closing in on “infinite flight” for drones by zapping them with high powered lasers from the ground.

A University of Houston professor has taken on the global challenge of reducing the staggering amount of heat generated in artificial intelligence data centers. Hadi Ghasemi, J. Willard Gibbs ...

The DAYU3D code has undergone rigorous verification and validation using over 100 cases, including comparison with experimental data from the well-known SANA pebble-bed heat transfer experiment. The ...

Laboratory experiments demonstrated excellent results. At room temperature, the method achieved a temperature drop of nearly ...

Josh Berry and Austin Cindric have secured the final spots in NASCAR's preseason exhibition race. They finished first and ...

A Chinese research team has broken through a long-standing bottleneck in refrigeration technology by introducing a novel ...

A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...

When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

Researchers at the TPU Laboratory of Heat and Mass Transfer have proposed a mathematical model that reliably describes critical conditions of microexplosion of composite fuel droplets under the ...
