Engineers designing devices that harvest waste heat just gained an unexpected tool: a thermoelectric current that reverses ...

Hyperthermia is a potentially non-invasive cancer treatment that capitalizes on the heat intolerance of cancer cells, which are more sensitive than normal cells. In order to induce effective ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

In a new study, researchers have discovered that applying a small difference in temperature to a watered-down mixture of a compound called zirconium phosphate initiates its liquid crystallization. As ...

Researchers have identified how in-plane temperature gradients inside lithium-ion batteries can either protect cells during fast charging or dramatically accelerate their degradation, offering a new ...

Accurate and stable temperature control is necessary for effectively using many thermally sensitive components and sensors, such as semiconductor lasers and optical detectors. An industry has grown up ...
