Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn ...

This work can lead to more efficient heat removal from electronic devices, including such as smartphones, computers, and LEDs. Before the modern understanding of thermodynamics, scientists sometimes ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

Every time you tweet about your meal or check out a new LOLcat, your mobile device churns away to crunching bits and flinging data through the air to make it all happen seamlessly. While technology is ...

Imagine shaking a snow globe again and again. You’d expect the flakes to scatter endlessly. However, a team of researchers discovered that when they repeatedly jolted some of the coldest atoms in the ...
