Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free ...

T he idea of being exposed to the vacuum of space sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi film, but the reality is far more fascinating, and much more brutal. Without air, pressure, or ...

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

Few culinary delights capture the essence of comfort quite like a perfectly baked potato. The crisp, savory skin giving way ...

Abstract: The optimal control problem with the minimization of a quadratic functional is solved for the process of heat transfer in rarefied media with heat-conduction viscosity. The process is ...

Abstract: Due to the unpredictability of the input power source and the introduction of current harmonics to the mains line, the study proposes a 500W Single-Phase Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) ...

We study the causal impacts of income on a rich array of employment outcomes, leveraging an experiment in which 1,000 low-income individuals were randomized into receiving $1,000 per month ...

Explore the three methods of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation, in this interactive from WGBH, through animations and real-life examples in Earth and space science, ...
