Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn ...

Prof. Gal Shmuel of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology has developed an innovative approach that enables precise control of heat conduction in ways ...

Researchers have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more strongly than traditional convection and conduction methods. In a ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1986, American physicist Arthur Ashkin developed a fascinating tool that could gently pick and move microscopic objects like ...

This work can lead to more efficient heat removal from electronic devices, including such as smartphones, computers, and LEDs. Before the modern understanding of thermodynamics, scientists sometimes ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry ...
