New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

From hypersonic aircraft to nuclear-powered submarines, many of today’s most advanced defense systems rely on a special class ...

Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this ...

A sweeping new study of more than 2,000 insect species reveals a troubling reality: many insects may be far less capable of coping with rising temperatures than scientists once hoped. Researchers ...

Rosatom says a new austenitic steel has been developed for the primary circuit of the planned lead-cooled BR-1200 reactor ...

Engineers have long assumed that heating metals always softens them, but how metals behave at extreme deformation rates remained unclear. This counterintuitive finding reframes purity as a design ...

A team of Emory researchers recently found scientific evidence that the well-known health risks of extreme heat can have especially severe consequences for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular ...

This video shows a controlled chemistry safety demonstration involving a strong oxidizer and automotive fluid. The point isn’t to replicate it - this combination can ignite and cause serious injury or ...

As the Artemis II mission prepares to take off in March, a retired NASA engineer and astronaut has raised concerns about the Orion spacecraft's heat shield. The performance of the heat shield is ...

Heating accounts for nearly half of the global energy demand, and two-thirds of that is met by burning fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, and coal. Solar energy is a possible alternative, but while ...

Capturing and reusing the vast amounts of heat generated by industry could boost the UK’s competitiveness, according to the Royal Society. A report published by the society, with support from ...
