Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

Soil thermal conductivity is a critical parameter that governs the ability of the ground to transfer heat. It is influenced by a complex interplay of factors such as soil composition, moisture content ...

It was one of the "missing pieces" in the Theoretical Physics of Materials puzzle and researchers have finally found it: for the first time, the phenomenon of thermal conduction has been accounted for ...

Ovens heated with food-grade thermal heat transfer fluid are more precise and consistent than previous technologies. Product quality, great environmental properties and greater human and plant safety ...

Researchers have uncovered physical mechanisms allowing the manipulation of magnetic information with heat. These new phenomena rely on the transport of thermal energy, in contrast to the conventional ...

New materials strategy produces the lowest thermal conductivity reported in an inorganic material. Courtesy: University of Liverpool A new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever ...

Recent theoretical studies, however, had suggested that some metallic-like materials could break this record. θ-TaN, a metastable transition metal nitride, was among the most promising contenders, but ...

Lithium batteries power an expanding range of technologies, from electric vehicles and commercial transportation fleets to stationary energy storage systems and grid-scale backup power installations.

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...
