Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

All chemical reactions involve an energy change. We categorise reactions by the direction of this energy change. If energy is released by a reaction, the reaction is exothermic. If energy is absorbed ...

The vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) is commercially produced on a large scale by thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) in a tubular reactor immersed in a furnace. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD ...

Heat has always been something we thought we understood. From baking bread to running engines, the idea seemed simple: heat ...

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, ...

On the night of Oct. 5, 1923, Edwin Hubble observed a strange star that flickered in intensity at regular intervals. The star ...

DNA computers can use biological material to perform mathematical functions and store information, but their power sources have been fragile. Researchers now say they’ve developed a reliable source: ...

Discover how Vijaychandar Sanikal’s virtual thermal modeling boosts electric vehicle efficiency, range, and safety, setting ...

Our Medical Standards and Insights team has carefully researched and vetted over 11,000 products and services. We fact-check health claims, evaluate ingredients, and look into each brand’s reputation ...

Calorimetry is an experiment method by which the heat energy released or absorbed is measured. Conducting the experiment in a calorimeter provides more precise heat measurements. With a thick layer of ...

The pioneering MultiPLHY project demonstrating renewable hydrogen production has reached a key milestone: The consortium ...
