In many colleges and universities today, students often hear strong statements like “God is dead” or “Science has buried God.

A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

This video shows a controlled chemistry safety demonstration involving a strong oxidizer and automotive fluid. The point ...

The material exhibits an exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivity of ~0.18 W/m·K, placing it among the lowest known for crystalline solids.

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

After a quiz bowl changed her path, Dr. Zena Herrera returns to Arkansas to study how pregnancy stress and production shape ...

As much as 45 oceans’ worth of hydrogen may be in Earth’s core, scientists reported, suggesting most of Earth’s water was ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

The trend has little direct research, but studies on light, heat and relaxation show why it might help some people.

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently.

There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern ...

A rule-breaking discovery by Dean Christopher Schuh reveals a new way to strengthen metal in extreme conditions.
