New work could help design electronic devices in which heat can be guided in certain directions, minimizing heat loss ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

Researchers have developed a model that explains how heat flows between objects separated by gaps of less than a nanometer. The team has developed a unified framework that calculates heat transport at ...

Experimental techniques have long served as the bedrock for advancing our understanding of fluid flow, heat, and mass transfer phenomena. These methods encompass a broad spectrum of approaches – from ...

In our understanding of global geothermal heat flow, Greenland and the surrounding ocean floor has effectively been a blind spot. Now, scientist have dug up all available and somewhat unavailable heat ...

Control of heat flow is crucial for thermal logic devices and thermal management, with theoretical exploration preceding limited experimental progress in actively controlling heat flow. The device ...
