Researchers at The University of Tokyo demonstrate enhanced radiative heat transfer across a gap between two micro-sized silicon plates by coating them with a layer of silicon dioxide, which may ...

Heat transfer between objects a few molecules apart is 100x higher than predicted, confirmed by new data. Cause unknown but key for nanoscale temperature control. (Nanowerk News) More heat is ...

If you’re considering a new heating and cooling system, you’ve likely come across heat pumps. They’ve been around for over a century, but in 2020, they officially surpassed gas furnaces in sales.

In this fun experiment with the Discovery Center Museum, Lydia explains how different types of materials you have at home can transfer, or hold, heat differently and why some materials may be ...

Users can use simple equipment to measure enthalpy, a term often associated with physicists but significantly relevant to daily life. Heat transfer plays a pivotal role in all these processes, and ...

(Nanowerk News) As consumer electronics become ever more compact, while still boasting increased processing power, the need to manage waste heat from microcircuits has grown to become a major concern.
