A series of quantum physics experiments and theoretical papers now suggest that heat can flow spontaneously from a cold object to a hot one, provided the right quantum conditions are in place. This ...

We are used to heat flowing from hot objects to cool ones, and never the other way round, but now researchers have found it is possible to pull off this trick in the strange realm of quantum mechanics ...

When we think about heat traveling through a material, we typically picture diffusive transport, a process that transfers ...

The Conversation reports on winter jackets, blending old physics and modern materials to efficiently trap heat, ensuring ...

A physics informed machine learning model predicts thermal conductivity from infrared images in milliseconds, enabling fast, ...
