Editor’s note: The KOIN 6 Weather team is presenting weather and science lessons to help serve our teachers and students. Click here for more lessons. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – We’re heating up the ...

Mountain permafrost is warming and thawing worldwide due to climate change, with ground temperature being a key control of ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...

The field of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) conduction pumping has emerged as a promising technique to actively control fluid flow and enhance heat transfer without the need for mechanical components. By ...

In some cases, heat conduction can even be dramatically limited by the fact that different isotopes of an element are built into the material -- i.e. similar atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

Colorado team develop a new form of silicone that is more transparent than window glass, and a better thermal insulator than ...

When a home is poorly insulated, heating and cooling systems must work harder and longer to maintain a comfortable temperature. This increased workload directly translates into higher utility bills.
