This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

Is someone on your list hard to shop for? We've got a ton of great options for just about anyone. And grab a little something ...

A team of engineers at Sandia National Laboratories developed a rapid method for simulating heat shield materials in hypersonic conditions.

From the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 to the now-routine return of commercial spacecraft, heat shields—formally called thermal protection systems—are critical for protecting ...

Across 25 state-of-the-art models, poetic prompts achieved an average “attack success rate” of 62% for handcrafted poems and ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has selected the five commercial teams that will potentially demonstrate advanced ...

What if a doctor could inject an electricity-conducting liquid into the body, let it temporarily solidify to record nerve ...

Researchers find that cosmic dust acts as a catalyst, helping simple space gases form key molecules that may jump-start ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

UC Davis engineers have invented a Stirling engine that captures Earth’s escaping heat to generate power from the night sky.

Explore the fascinating tale of the Kola Superdeep Borehole, a monumental scientific endeavor by the Soviet Union that aimed ...
