Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is ...

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

From Texas clear to Georgia, from the Gulf Coast on up to the Canadian border, a mass of dangerous heat has started spreading like an atmospheric plague. In the days and perhaps even weeks ahead, a ...

Heat and color are related—the darker the color, the more heat that is absorbed. On a mostly sunny, 100 degree day, it doesn't take long to melt wax crayons. The video above demonstrates the order of ...
