A pair of US researchers have developed a new model to tackle a deceptively simple problem: how a small block of ice melts while floating in calm water. Using an advanced experimental setup, Daisuke ...

Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) succeeded in developing a new regenerator material composed solely of abundant elements, such as copper, iron, and aluminum, that ...

Okay, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) might have uncovered the Higgs boson and helped redefine our concept of physical ...

Chinese AI models have caught up to US models in power and performance. China is leading in model openness. Much of the world may adopt the freely available Chinese technology. The US artificial ...

Physicists have heated gold to over 19,000 Kelvin, more than 14 times its melting point, without melting it, smashing the long-standing “entropy catastrophe” limit. Using an ultra-fast laser pulse at ...

Aira is raising €150 million in equity financing to support increased production capacity in Wroclaw, Poland, as well as further research and development in Sweden. Swedish heat pump manufacturer Aira ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical ...

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The organization that manages the electricity grid that impacts West Virginia and others in eastern states put out two alerts Tuesday in connection with power usage during the ...

DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - With temperatures getting higher and higher, many are likely planning to visit or have already journeyed to one of the Southeast’s many beaches to beat the heat. Even when summer ...

Heat capacity (C p) and thermal diffusivity (α) are essential thermophysical properties that determine the thermal behavior of materials. Their temperature dependence reflects all the excitations that ...

NORFOLK, Va. — Living by the coast, you may notice that vegetation and roadways cool down and heat up more quickly than our local bodies of water. Let’s dive into the science behind “specific heat” ...
