Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping ...

A team of physicists has created a cloud of ultracold atoms that stubbornly resists the most basic rule of everyday ...

Have you ever wondered why we wear clothes? I mean, beyond the obvious. Why does wearing a jacket in the cold keep your warmer? What is happening to all the heat inside your body? In this episode of ...

An experiment with ultracold atoms reveals that a strongly driven quantum system doesn’t always heat up as expected. In daily life, doing work on something over and over usually makes it warmer. You ...

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 ...

Researchers at Shanghai University have developed a physics-constrained, data-efficient artificial intelligence framework ...

When things heat up, spinning electrons go their separate ways. Warming one end of a strip of platinum shuttles electrons around according to their spin, a quantum property that makes them behave as ...

When it comes to developing low-carbon technology solutions, one of the answers lies right beneath our feet. Ground-source heat pumps harness the heat from the shallow Earth – providing a source of ...

The internet is awash with adverts for various portable heaters, with claims that they will heat your house for pennies. Some ...
