(nrd/Unsplash) Say hello to ionocaloric cooling. It's a new way to lower temperatures, with the potential to replace existing ...

The heat is on and temperature records keep getting shattered. In June of this year, more than 60 percent of the world population faced extreme heat that was made at least three times more likely by ...

Essentially, when the material is exposed to enough heat the water molecules stored inside it gain energy and are released to the air around it. This now-dehydrated material effectively stores that ...

A multidisciplinary engineering team at the University of California, San Diego developed a new nanoparticle-based material for concentrating solar power plants designed to absorb and convert to heat ...

Imagine clothes, houses or cars that soaked up heat during the day and then released it on demand when things turned cold. That’s exactly what a new material made at MIT could provide in the future. A ...

Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the University of Leipzig in Germany have developed a new heat-storage material. They claim it improves the energy efficiency of ...

Norway's most elaborate travel-wear keeps the body cool in hot helicopter cabins, but transforms into a heat-retaining suit if the helicopter should fall into the sea. The suit has been developed to ...

Ever notice how stepping into a city feels like walking into an oven, especially during summer? The air seems thicker, the ...

Over the past decade, however, scientists have begun exploring theoretical designs that, under the right conditions, could allow materials to break reciprocity. Understanding how a material absorbs ...
