Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this episode of ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could dramatically cut ...

Researchers discovered heat in fusion reactors doesn't diffuse slowly—it executes an American football-style "long pass." ...

A new magnetic switch that controls the flow of heat has been made by Joäo Ventura and colleagues at the University of Porto in Portugal. At its heart is a cylindrical container that is about three ...

From the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 to the now-routine return of commercial spacecraft, heat shields—formally called thermal protection systems—are critical for protecting ...
