The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

A Fargo-based company has come up with a revolutionary way to produce massive quantities of portable heat using magnets instead of flame. The machines, capable of producing millions of British thermal ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory have created a magnetic heat pump that works just as well as standard air conditioners and heaters without using harmful ...

As Earth warms, much of the extra heat is stored in the planet’s ocean — but monitoring the magnitude of that heat content is a difficult task. A surprising feature of the tides could help, however.

Physicists Prof. Dr. Ingo Rehberg from the University of Bayreuth and Dr. Peter Blümler from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed and experimentally validated an innovative approach for ...
