University of Houston researchers have made a discovery in thermal conductivity that overturns an existing theory that boron ...

The researchers found that high-quality boron arsenide crystals achieved thermal conductivity above 2,100 watts per meter per ...

Some of the most difficult (and most important) experiments in the history of physics had to do with making connections between different concepts. What about the connection between objects moving ...

Fishing line, paper clips, glass marble, glue -- no, not the makings of a MacGyver episode but a new experiment that lets students precisely measure the effects of global warming on oceans. MacGyver ...

All materials, with some exceptions, expand when they are heated. However, the amount of expansion per degree change in temperature varies depending on the substance. Since structures are made up of ...

Most metals expand when heated and contract when cooled. A few metals, however, do the opposite, exhibiting what’s known as negative thermal expansion (NTE). A team of researchers led by Ignace ...

MacGyver this! New DYI experiment shows students the physics of climate change Fishing line, paper clips, glass marble, glue -- no, not the makings of a MacGyver episode but a new experiment that lets ...
