Winter jackets may seem simple, but sophisticated engineering allows them to keep body heat locked in, while staying ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

Many Australian homes are like an oven in summer and a fridge in winter. New ‘smart materials’ are being developed to make ...

The ecology of the North Atlantic is constantly changing. Sometimes it changes abruptly. Extreme events are one driver of ...

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER), led by Dr. Hookyung Lee, have developed an electrified heat ...

Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

In recent years, heat has stopped being just a number on a thermometer and has become something we can literally see at the atomic scale. In 2025, an ...

Since the time of the dinosaurs, cycad plants may have attracted insects using infrared light. It may be the world's oldest form of pollination. Rhopalotria furfuracea beetles pollinate the cones of ...

Software engineering is the branch of computer science that deals with the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software applications. Software engineers apply engineering principles and ...

Ancient plants called cycads say “come hither” in infrared. By Sofia Quaglia If a plant wants to reproduce, there are a number of tricks it can use to lure a pollinator insect. It can display gaudily ...

Electropulsing treatment rapidly heats metallic materials using high-density electrical pulses. Scientists at Pusan National University have now isolated its thermal and athermal effects in magnesium ...
