Physicists found a way to see heat in empty space
Heat is supposed to need something to cling to, whether vibrating atoms in a metal rod or infrared light streaming from a hot stove. Yet a series of recent experiments suggests that empty space is not ...
This infographic depicts a simplified diagram of the novel energy-harvesting technique using the TL liquid. Implementation of this strategy in practice could help in the conversion of waste heat ...
Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could dramatically cut energy loss from buildings without blocking the view outside. The material ...
