When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers heat from high-temperature to low-temperature as particles and molecules bump ...

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

Extreme heat is becoming an increasing challenge for cities around the world. Urban areas tend to trap warmth, making heatwaves more intense and potentially hazardous to the people who live, work, and ...

Researchers using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified aerothermal flaws in jet engine turbine blades that conventional simulation methods could not detect. The ...

The currents of the oceans, the roiling surface of the sun, and the clouds of smoke billowing off a forest fire—all are ...

A stretched polar vortex and plunging cold temperatures have heaters and furnaces working overtime this winter, causing many to question when to use the emergency heat or what 'aux heat' means when it ...

An international research team has reviewed emerging solid-state and gas-cycle heat pumps capable of reaching temperatures of up to 1,600 K, assessing their challenges, applications, scalability, and ...

South Korean tech giant Samsung has launched a new all-in-one heat pump for residential and commercial use. Dubbed EHS All-in-One, the system provides air heating and cooling, floor heating, and hot ...

A Tennessee family was allegedly threatened with fines by their homeowners’ association to remove the generator that was heating their house, as the neighborhood was plunged into darkness during below ...

A rule-breaking discovery by Dean Christopher Schuh reveals a new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions.
