Almost exactly 200 years ago, French physicist Sadi Carnot determined the maximum efficiency of heat engines. The Carnot ...

Winter jackets keep you warm by managing heat through the three classical modes of heat transfer – conduction, convection and ...

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 ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily ...

When it comes to developing low-carbon technology solutions, one of the answers lies right beneath our feet. Ground-source heat pumps harness the heat from the shallow Earth – providing a source of ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday experience: when you pump energy into something, it heats up. Instead, this quantum ...

When things heat up, spinning electrons go their separate ways. Warming one end of a strip of platinum shuttles electrons around according to their spin, a quantum property that makes them behave as ...

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Not only people need to stay cool, especially in a summer of record-breaking ...

At first glance, physics and food science appear to belong to different worlds. Physics is often seen as abstract, mathematical and distant from daily life, while food science feels immediate, ...

Researchers at Shanghai University have developed a physics-constrained, data-efficient artificial intelligence framework that enables accurate thermal field inversion in chiplet-based packaging ...
