A team of researchers has unveiled a first-of-its-kind stable and fully solid-state thermal transistor that uses an electric field to control a semiconductor device's heat movement. The group's study ...

Researchers aiming to combat rising global temperatures have developed a new 'cooling glass' that can turn down the heat indoors without electricity by drawing on the cold depths of space. The new ...

For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been the go-to explanation for how heat diffuses through solid materials (at least on macro scales). However, a new study by scientists at the University of ...

Rising day and night temperatures are threatening rice, wheat, and maize production by disrupting plant growth, grain filling, and grain quality, putting global food security at risk. Precision ...

Various forms of heat pumps—refrigerators, air conditioners, heaters—are estimated to consume about 30 percent of the world’s electricity. And that number is almost certain to rise, as heat pumps play ...

Heat distribution across solid surfaces, mouth bacteria and better diagnostics for brain cancer will be among the topics tackled during the 2026 Riverside County Science & Engineering Fair, which ...
