Nguyen and her team solved this by designing a version of their molecule that remains liquid at room temperature. It requires ...

Researchers found that cutting two amino acids common in animal protein—methionine and cysteine—made mice burn significantly more energy. The boost in heat production was nearly as powerful as ...

Engineers at UC Davis have built a remarkable device that creates power at night by tapping into something we rarely think about: the vast cold of outer space. Using a special type of Stirling engine, ...

A heat pump powered by sound waves just reached 518°F, no compressors, no moving parts. Researchers say it could transform how industries recycle heat.

If you’re a California homeowner and you’ve been feeling chilly this winter, there are plenty of reasons to go get a heat pump.

Hollow graphene aerogel fibers mimicking polar bear hair achieve record-low thermal conductivity and high electrical ...

If people suspect their dog is shivering because of the cold, they can provide their dogs with a heat source, such as heated beds and pillows. If the animal continues to shiver even after temperature ...

Two new integrated projects to protect South Asians from the rapidly escalating threat of extreme heat have been announced.

Water droplets have a unique ability: They can leap from a surface on their own. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as when a surface repels water or when heat is involved, such as a water ...

Tiny aerosol particles in the air play a big role in regulating how much sunlight our planet absorbs or reflects, and how clouds form above us. In a recent study, researchers found that extreme heat ...

At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling amount of energy. But right now, our best technologies are essentially trying to ...

Oak Ridge is becoming a nuclear energy hub, with companies like TRISO-X, Standard Nuclear, and Radiant Nuclear developing ...
