What if time isn't fundamental at all? Physicist Carlo Rovelli reveals how modern physics, from relativity to quantum gravity, has gradually erased time from its equations. In it ...

Rice University researchers have captured the temperature profile of quark-gluon plasma, the ultra-hot state of matter from ...

A high-resolution TEM image of the nanoparticles studied in this work. Courtesy: J Belo Most materials expand when they are heated up and contract when cooled down – a phenomenon known as positive ...

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

In 1926, Russian physicist Yakov Frenkel proposed a theory that put a limit on the amount of stress a perfect crystal can withstand before its structural planes begin to slip over one another. Now, ...

A research team at Penn State has reported a significant violation of Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation, a principle that has been a foundation of thermal physics for 165 years. Their findings ...

A team of engineers and material scientists in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering at CU Boulder has developed a new technology to turn thermal radiation into electricity in a way ...

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Engineers have developed HADAR, or heat-assisted detection and ranging. Researchers at Purdue University are advancing the world of robotics and autonomy with their patent-pending method that improves ...
