Ahh, summer, a time of vacations at the beach or mountains—and sky-high electricity bills as your air conditioner labors ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used ...

According to the laws of physics, cold doesn’t exist. It’s simply the absence of heat. But that’s not entirely comforting to someone who is suffering from the cold. Humans have a fairly wide range of ...

Now that summer is here, it's time to stock up on cooling clothing made from fabrics that will help you beat the heat.

Convection: This is a transfer of heat with the circulating of liquid or gas. This process of mixing leads to rising warm air and sinking cool air. That process can be called a convective current ...

The heat index will soar above 100 degrees early next week. Older adults, people with heart issues and those without A/C are at highest risk.

Mitochondrial activity decreases dramatically in the hours and days before death. These cellular powerhouses normally generate approximately 90% of our body heat through ATP production.

The average human body emits about 100 watts of heat at rest. When exercising, that heat can easily exceed 1,000 watts : energy that could boil one liter of water in six minutes.

Within about 10 cm, these insects can detect the heat rising from our skin. And they can directly sense the temperature of our skin once they land. These two senses correspond to two of the three ...
