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 ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

Deyu Li and Josh Caldwell, both Professors of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt, are part of a team of researchers who discovered a new heat dissipation channel using phonon polaritons that could ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...

When room-temperature washers are placed in hot water, the temperature of the washers increases and the temperature of the water decreases. Energy from the water is transferred to the washers. When ...

Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...
