Researchers have developed a heat storage unit that takes up less space than a regular hot water tank. It charges when ...

Heat travels across a metal by the movement of electrons. However, in an insulator there are no free charge carriers; instead, vibrations in the atoms (phonons) move the heat from hot regions to cool ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If there’s one law of physics that seems easy to grasp, it’s the second law of thermodynamics: Heat flows spontaneously from hotter ...

Abstract: Accurately estimating sensible heat (H) and latent heat (LE) in mountainous areas is a significant challenge due to the influence of complex topography factors. Currently, most models have ...

Physicists have heated gold to over 19,000 Kelvin, more than 14 times its melting point, without melting it, smashing the long-standing “entropy catastrophe” limit. Using an ultra-fast laser pulse at ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical ...

A St. Louis Cardinals fan cools off in right field seating with temperatures in the 90s during a game against the San Diego Padres, a 4-1 win on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024 at Busch Stadium. CHICAGO — The ...

The Kansas City Royals were hot Wednesday at Wrigley Field, scoring an 8-4 road win. So were the Chicago Cubs. And the umpires. And the fans. Everyone felt the heat in Wrigleyville. Fans swarmed to ...

Topological insulators are materials that behave as insulators in their interior but support the flow of electrons along their edges or surfaces. These edge states are protected against weak disorder, ...
