Gao Peng's research group at the International Center for Quantum Materials, School of Physics, Peking University, has ...

Heat — in our everyday language, in physics, specifically — really means internal energy, or the random motion of particles in matter. To put it more simply, the hotter the object, ...

A research team from Penn State has broken a 165-year-old law of thermal radiation with unprecedented strength, setting the ...

Heat waves can stress air conditioners, which are already working hard to dissipate heat. AP Photo/Paul White For example, in Texas, every increase of 1.8 degrees F (1 degree C) creates a rise of ...

Heat pumps use a fraction of the energy of traditional electric or gas heaters, which means they slash both energy costs and emissions. Heat pumps can cut your energy costs by up to 90%.

Heat pumps are becoming all the rage around a world that has to slash carbon emissions rapidly while cutting energy costs. But if climate change benefits are not enough, consider this: they may ...

Our in-house physics whiz explains how a heat pump can warm your home without burning fossil fuels. Skip to main content ... Heat pumps rely on electricity to drive the compressor and fans.

Scientists at MIT have directly captured signs of “second sound” in a superfluid for the first time. This bizarre phenomenon occurs when heat moves like sound waves through an unusual state of ...
