A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold ...

Technically, yes, you can bake cookies in a car on an extremely hot day. But you must stick to an egg-free recipe to reduce the risk of food poisoning. That said, your car will smell amazing! This ...

An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon in The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is ...

Contrary to what we all learned in elementary school science class, it turns out that heat may not be necessary to make water evaporate. Scientists at MIT have made the surprising discovery that light ...

Heat and color are related—the darker the color, the more heat that is absorbed. On a mostly sunny, 100 degree day, it doesn't take long to melt wax crayons. The video above demonstrates the order of ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — From the tragedy of the space shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 to the now-routine return of commercial spacecraft, heat shields — formally called thermal protection systems — are ...
