As Earth warms, much of the extra heat is stored in the planet’s ocean — but monitoring the magnitude of that heat content is a difficult task. A surprising feature of the tides could help, however.

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Steel parts and aluminum cans could soon be made with far less energy, thanks to the University of Florida. In a collaboration backed by nearly $11 million in federal funding, UF scientists have ...

Laser heating generates a temperature gradient in the MnPt layer, which induces spin currents (green arrows) that are injected into the FePt layer. These spin currents generate spin torque, which ...

Forward-looking: Magnetic storage technology in hard disks has undergone significant evolution in recent years. Following Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR), Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), and ...

Magnetic heat shields could increase the viability of future return missions to Mars by making spacecraft lighter, cheaper, and cooler during re-entry. UQ hypersonics researcher Dr David Gildfind and ...

Artistic visualization of a crystalline rod made of the semimetal ZrTe 5. There is a heat gradient from one end to the other. In its center, giant oscillations in its heat conduction are toggled by ...
