People not in the refrigeration business often think that refrigeration equipment produces cold air; in fact, the equipment is actually removing heat from air and leaving what’s left — the cold. When ...

When we cook, we take 'heating' for granted. However, we may rarely be conscious of how heat is actually transferred to our ...

Engineered materials reshape heat transfer A new study, published in Nature from researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, in collaboration with Stanford University and Purdue University, shows that ...

More heat is transferred between objects that are just a few nanometers apart than physics theory predicts. A research team at the University of Oldenburg has now confirmed this phenomenon, which was ...

Scientists used nanoscale gold metamaterials to supercharge heat transfer across tiny gaps, achieving up to four times more energy flow than similar conventional systems. The breakthrough could lead ...

Scientists have developed an ultrathin coating that could dramatically improve how efficiently heat is transferred during condensation. By turning tiny polymer structures once considered “defects” ...
