University of Colorado scientists may not be breaking the laws of physics with their thermal energy work, but they are reportedly teasing them. The Boulder researchers have teamed with government ...

Radiative heat transfer is one of the most critical energy transfer mechanisms in nature. However, traditional blackbody ...

US Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a new high-temperature testbed to advance research on nuclear thermal ...

When spring arrives and the heating season comes to an end, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us that it is not just a seasonal necessity—heat is also a valuable energy ...

The particles of liquids are further apart than solids. This means that most liquids are poor conductors of heat because the frequency of collisions is reduced. The particles of gases are even ...

A team from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, joined by university students, recently traveled to The ...

Curved, trough-shaped reflectors concentrate solar energy and direct it onto a receiver pipe in this arrangement. In a steam ...

Radioactivity is a part of our earth - it has existed all along. Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the ...

By Keith Hamm By design, the detonation of a nuclear weapon in a major city would be devastating. The explosion of intense ...

Scientists in Australia have shown how pre-cooling and pre-heating could be implemented in Australian buildings with the ...

This site presents the energy and photon intensity of gamma rays as seen in thermal-neutron capture in two tables, one in ascending order of gamma energy and a second organized by Z, A of the target.
