Physicists have found a clever way to detect the elusive Unruh effect without extreme accelerations. By using atoms that emit light cooperatively between mirrors, acceleration subtly shifts when a ...

NEW DELHI – In an effort to combat rising temperatures in Gujarat, hundreds of homes in Ahmedabad have received a new “cool roof” treatment, where their rooftops are painted with a white reflective ...

At PING, testing isn’t what happens after design. Testing is design.Long before motion-capture rigs, ENZO, FOCAL, or even a ...

This experiment uses a warm liquid on ice to explore how heat actually moves and dissipates. Instead of melting evenly, the ice reacts in unexpected patterns that reveal strange thermal behavior. It’s ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Three thought experiments involving “demons” have haunted physics for centuries. What should we make of them today?

UC Davis engineers have invented a Stirling engine that captures Earth’s escaping heat to generate power from the night sky.

What if a doctor could inject an electricity-conducting liquid into the body, let it temporarily solidify to record nerve ...

In 1943, a physicist and a biologist published a paper that confirmed one of the central pillars of Darwin's theory of evolution. The paper, by Max Delbrück of Vanderbilt University and Salvador Luria ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The annual winter balancing act of trying to heat your home and avoid skyrocketing energy bills is something many of us are familiar with.

James, 25, captained Chelsea to victory in the Club World Cup this summer in the US but the competition faced criticism ...

While AI has been dividing Hollywood, Michael Mann is agnostic when it comes to it. In fact, he will likely be experimenting with it in “Heat 2.” “I don’t experiment with technology gratuitously,” ...
