Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, shared the story of a scientist who risked his health by exposing himself to extreme heat conditions in a chamber. The self-experiment aimed ...

IN NATURE for March 9, 1935 (p. 359), Prof. Andrade directed attention to the persistent textbook errors concerning Davy's experiments on the fractional development of heat, pointing out, among other ...

When a spacecraft enters a thick atmosphere at a high velocity, it rapidly compresses the gas in front of it. This creates temperatures high enough to ionize the gas molecules into a hot, dense plasma ...

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body ...

Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...

The US Air Force (USAF) hosted a heat pipe experiment on its most recent Boeing X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) mission, which could help the service learn how to better manage heat with spacecraft.

With the world set to blow past 1.5°C of warming, researchers are increasingly studying possible methods of cooling the planet by modifying the atmosphere or the oceans. More geoengineering research ...
