A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...

Historically, computer-aided design (CAD) is a democratic field. Engineers were seeking a means of sharing their designs in the same way that they would blueprints or circuit designs on paper half a ...

Efficient management and exploitation of thermal energy is key for many engineering applications. Greater understanding and control of thermal processes, such as thermal energy harvesting, storage and ...

Fluid mechanics and thermal engineering concern the behaviour of liquids and gases in motion and the management of thermal energy within those flows. Central to fluid mechanics are the conservation ...

If a material absorbs light, it will heat up. That heat must go somewhere, and the ability to control where and how much heat is emitted can protect or even hide such devices as satellites. An ...

Researchers show that a modified crystalline nitride can suppress heat flow to near-amorphous levels, offering a new route to ...

The research of the Multiscale Thermal Science Laboratory (MTSL) focuses on the fundamental understanding of thermal transport phenomena at the interfaces between material phases and from macro to ...

The research identifies metallic theta-phase tantalum nitride (TaN₍θ₎) as the fastest heat-conducting metal ever measured. Led by Yongjie Hu of UCLA's Samueli School of Engineering, the ...

Thermal management can be a bewildering topic even though we deal with it every day. What temperature do you want to set the air conditioner for in the car? Where should you direct the air flow? These ...

Researchers at Yonsei University have unveiled a breakthrough “thermal sponge” capable of slashing annual ...

Researchers developed a novel method to control thermal emission at a designed interface. Pictured here as a wavy red line, the interface can be designed to any shape. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — If a ...
