A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

When temperatures soar, so do heart attacks. Now, a lab experiment explains just how temperatures climbing into Fahrenheit’s three-digits can cause ischemia and potential heart attacks, all while ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Science Detectives, an ASU student-led organization, provides free, hands-on science lessons for third to sixth-grade students from Tempe and Mesa .

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 ...
