When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

Radiative heat transfer rates that exceed the blackbody limit by several orders of magnitude are expected when the gap size between plane parallel surfaces is reduced to the nanoscale. To date, ...

The Conversation reports on winter jackets, blending old physics and modern materials to efficiently trap heat, ensuring warmth and breathability.

Researchers at The University of Tokyo demonstrate enhanced radiative heat transfer across a gap between two micro-sized silicon plates by coating them with a layer of silicon dioxide, which may ...

Researchers from Zhejiang University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China have developed a hybrid solar module cooling technique based on radiative cooling (RC) and the use of heat pipes to ...

A well-established physical law describes the transfer of heat between two objects, but some physicists have long predicted that the law should break down when the objects are very close together.

As much as 100 times more heat than predicted by the standard radiation theory can flow between two nanoscale objects, even at bigger-than-nanoscale distances. As much as 100 times more heat than ...

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SimScale, the provider of the world’s first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation, today announced the availability of radiation heat transfer analyses ...

One of the hidden heroes of the modern world is heat transfer. Sucking the heat out of modern electronics is a technical feat all by itself. And we've tackled even stickier situations, like cooling ...

Parallel plates: illustration of the quartz plates used to measure heat transfer. (Courtesy: M Ghashami et al/Phys. Rev. Lett.) New insights into why heat transfer between objects is enhanced at very ...
