North Korea uses thermal cladding on important facilities to block radiation of heat and prevent heat loss. The regime ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The gas turbines powering aircraft engines rely on ceramic coatings that ensure structural stability at high temperatures. But these coatings don’t control heat radiation, ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Nature boasts incredible survivors capable of enduring extreme conditions, from scorching heat and freezing cold to nuclear ...

New study shows that heat may be one of the oldest modes of communication between animals and plants. Cycads—one of the oldest living lineages of seed plants—heat up their reproductive organs to ...

Scientists are learning how to turn the chill of outer space into a quiet source of electricity, using the night sky itself as a heat sink. By carefully managing how surfaces shed heat after dark, ...

Two researchers stand and talk in a laboratory, the person on the left is holding a white fabric square. The University of Chicago’s Chenxi Sui (left) and Po-Chun Hsu have developed radiative cooling ...

Long before flowers dazzled pollinators with brilliant colors and sweet scents, ancient plants used another feature to signal insects: heat. The findings, based on an analysis of the biology and ...

Researchers have developed a way for ceramic coatings to control heat radiation, a feature that could increase the performance of aircraft engines operating at high temperatures. The gas turbines ...
