The field of handheld dry herb technology has changed a lot. It has gone from simple heating elements to complex, ...

Editor’s note: The KOIN 6 Weather team is presenting weather and science lessons to help serve our teachers and students. Click here for more lessons. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – We’re heating up the ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

In some cases, heat conduction can even be dramatically limited by the fact that different isotopes of an element are built into the material -- i.e. similar atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

Legions of viruses that infect the leaves of tobacco plants could be the key to making power plants safer, heating and cooling of buildings more efficient, and electronics more powerful. These tiny ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

When designing electronics, heat dissipated to the surroundings by micro devices is an important consideration because heat has a powerful and stringent effect on their operation and lifespan. When an ...
