Earth’s oceans reached their highest heat levels on record in 2025, absorbing vast amounts of excess energy from the ...

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to smartphone chips. Now a set of carefully designed experiments has revealed a ...

As extreme heat claims more lives during ruthless summers in the region, Southern Nevada is upping the ante in its tree planting efforts. But a new study suggests trees alone may not be enough to make ...

With an optimized design in hand, Qian worked with colleague Dan Thoma, a professor of materials science and engineering at UW-Madison, who led the 3D printing of the heat exchanger using a metal ...

A large heat dome that will dominate the weather pattern across the eastern two-thirds of the nation into late June will produce more than record-smashing temperatures, as severe thunderstorms will ...
