Recent observations of Betelgeuse, a star located in the constellation Orion, have created a mystery about the red supergiant. They suggest it is spinning much faster than a star its size should be ...

A novel surface treatment allows water to reach a boiling point more easily, thus requiring less energy to do so. As water in a pot or other container approaches the boiling point, numerous bubbles ...

A new University of Hawaii at Manoa study has produced a new technique involving heat that could help prevent nuclear power plant accidents. Boiling is usually associated with heating, however, in ...

Legions of viruses that infect the leaves of tobacco plants could be the key to making power plants safer, heating and cooling of buildings more efficient, and electronics more powerful. These tiny ...

System designers spend a lot their time, mental energy, and effort on heat, sources, intensity, and especially how to get it away from sensitive components (a mentor once told me that “away” is that ...

The boiling of water or other fluids is an energy-intensive step at the heart of a wide range of industrial processes, including most electricity generating plants, many chemical production systems, ...

A team of researchers including one of Indian-origin has engineered a special surface which produces no bubbles when the water is boiled. "We manipulated what has been known for a long, long time by ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology have taken another step toward meeting the demanding cooling needs for the complex internal components found in today’s microelectronic devices and ...

The weird, dark streaks that appear and disappear seasonally on the Martian surface may be caused by boiling water, new research suggests. The study, published today in Nature Geoscience, is the first ...

Scientists have demonstrated a novel concept that overcomes the tolerable heat limit or what's known as the critical heat flux (CHF). They have come up with a new method that increased the CHF by 10 ...
