A near absence of gravity, as afforded by the low Earth orbit of the International Space Station (ISS), may be the key to a full explanation of how heat pipes actually work their magic. Although ...

Newswise — 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 ...

Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...

For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to smartphone chips. Now a set of carefully designed experiments has revealed a ...

A research team led by Davoud Jafari at the University of Twente, in collaboration with the University of Pisa, has completed a series of parabolic flight experiments to investigate advanced smart ...

A Purdue University experiment was sent to the International Space Station on Tuesday to collect data toward understanding how reduced gravity affects condensation. The experiment launched on Northrop ...

To live on the moon or Mars, humans will need heat and air conditioning that can operate long term in reduced gravity and temperatures hundreds of degrees above or below what we experience on Earth.
