When temperatures soar, so do heart attacks. Now, a lab experiment explains just how temperatures climbing into Fahrenheit’s three-digits can cause ischemia and potential heart attacks, all while ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

A lot of power means a lot of heat. NASA’s future missions to explore the Moon and Mars will require enormous amounts of electrical power and hardware to support astronauts and drive new technologies.

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 is ...

When someone sits in hot air, sweat forms and evaporates, carrying heat away from the skin. This evaporation acts like a cooling system. Submerge the body in water, and that heat escape route largely ...
