When temperatures soar, so do heart attacks. Now, a lab experiment explains just how temperatures climbing into Fahrenheit’s three-digits can cause ischemia and potential heart attacks, all while ...

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 ...

Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...

Scientists have spent years fracking outside Milford, jamming chemicals and water into the earth to break rock with the same technique that’s drawn controversy to the oil and gas industry. In April, ...

An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is ...

The US Air Force (USAF) hosted a heat pipe experiment on its most recent Boeing X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) mission, which could help the service learn how to better manage heat with spacecraft.

Devices used in laboratories, hospitals and similarly high-demand settings must remain consistently accurate to encourage trust in the parties using them for critical tasks. However, overheating can ...

Heat and color are related—the darker the color, the more heat that is absorbed. On a mostly sunny, 100 degree day, it doesn't take long to melt wax crayons. The video above demonstrates the order of ...
