More heat is transferred between objects that are just a few nanometers apart than physics theory predicts. A research team ...

From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity ...

One-way heat transfer demonstrated in topological thermal metaphotonics offers new avenues for efficient thermal management and energy-harvesting solutions.

Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this episode of ...

Heat transfer under pressure: A boron arsenide crystal placed between two diamonds in a controlled chamber with thermal energy transported under extreme pressure. (Courtesy: Y Hu) The thermal ...

The particles of liquids are further apart than solids. This means that most liquids are poor conductors of heat because the frequency of collisions is reduced. The particles of gases are even further ...
