Heat usually follows a predictable path—spreading outward from a hot source until it dissipates evenly. But in some exotic ...
In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have discovered a novel approach to detecting the quantum ...
Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...
In the journal Chaos, researchers in Japan explore the likelihood that Earth’s climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they ...
In this video, Jonny Nelson introduces an animated explanation of latent heat. Changes in a material’s temperature or state of matter are caused by changes to the internal energy. The energy ...
