Prof. Gal Shmuel of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology has developed an ...

Control of heat flow is crucial for thermal logic devices and thermal management, with theoretical exploration preceding limited experimental progress in actively controlling heat flow. The device ...

New findings from CU Boulder researchers in Physical Review Applied show that nanoscale structures on the surfaces of silicon membranes can significantly change the way that heat travels through the ...

(Nanowerk News) The continuous process of miniaturization and integration of electronic circuits in such as mobile phones and computers leads to an increasingly strong demand for thermal management, ...

From smartphones to supercomputers, electronics have a heat problem. Modern computer chips suffer from microscopic “hotspots” with power density levels that exceed those of rocket nozzles and even ...

Thermotherapy or heat treatment can help in treating lesions and other tissue injuries. For example, chemotherapy or radiotherapy, when combined with thermotherapy, kills tumorous cells more ...

Forcing electrons to flow perpendicularly to a heat flow requires an external magnetic field – this is known as the Nernst effect. In a permanently magnetized material (a ferromagnet), an anomalous ...

Instead of absorbing energy from the sun to produce electricity, a new class of devices generates power by absorbing heat from its surroundings instead and beaming it at outer space. Such devices, ...
