RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- Researchers working on an Army project developed nanoscale thermal switches that are key to thermal management of nanoscale devices, refrigeration, data storage, ...

In the 1930s, primitive devices were invented to capture heat and make all heated objects visible in the dark. Almost 100 years later, these devices became modern thermal imagers, which have become ...

Key research finding: Modern devices that use lithium ion batteries, like smartphones and electric cars, seem pretty robust. But try to use one in extreme heat or cold, and you’ll see how susceptible ...
