When substances are heated, they gain heat energy. The atoms and molecules of substances gain kinetic energy and their speed increases. The average kinetic energy of these particles is proportional to ...

Quite some years ago I examined how, if we know the specific heat capacity of a particular thing, we can make an estimate of the time constant of that particular thing undergoing a thermal excursion ...

As I understand it, the whole point of cooking a turkey is to take it at some temperature and then increase it to a higher temperature. Sure, maybe there's something about family togetherness in there ...

UCLA materials scientists have developed a class of optical material that controls how heat radiation is directed from an object. Similar to the way overlapping blinds direct the angle of visible ...

DURING the last four years, a systematic investigation of the effect of high-frequency electric currents on biological objects has been carried out in this Laboratory with the view of finding a ...

The thermally cloaked region is shown in the centre of this heat map The range of physical phenomena that scientists are trying to "cloak" objects from has a new entry - heat. French researchers have ...
