Crystals and glasses have opposite heat-conduction properties, which play a pivotal role in a variety of technologies. These range from the miniaturization and efficiency of electronic devices to ...

Researchers have long chased a deceptively simple goal in building design: glass that lets in the view and daylight, but not the heat that drives up energy bills. That ambition is now much closer to ...

The thermoelectric effect can turn waste heat into electrical energy. To make use of it, special materials with unusual properties are required. A remarkable effect has now been demonstrated, which ...

ATLANTIC BEACH, N.C. (WITN) - As temperatures climb and it feels like it’s well over 100 degrees across the east, fire departments along the Crystal Coast say they’re seeing more heat-related calls.

Stone Island ‘s Prototype Research Series consists of native limite-edition garments dressed in experimental fabrics or treatments that have not yet been industrialized. The latest chapter is titled ...

Light exposure switches heat flow in barium titanate by altering its structure, offering a reversible method for dynamic thermal control in ferroelectric materials. (Nanowerk Spotlight) We can switch ...

The article discusses how increasing disorder in the atomic structure of materials influences macroscopic heat conduction — a critical property for heat-management technologies. The materials studied ...
