Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...

In the realm of thermodynamics, delta S or change in entropy plays a crucial role in understanding how energy is distributed within a system undergoing a particular process. Entropy, denoted by the ...

Though it might seem like science fiction, scientists are working to build nanoscale molecular machines that can be designed ...

M.2 NVMe SSDs, like most other PC components, are designed to operate within a defined temperature range. In most cases ...

Metal-organic (MO) precursors are the chemical building blocks at the heart of atomically precise complex oxide materials.

Up to 98 percent of the energy of an earthquake goes into flash heating rocks, not shaking the ground, new research shows. The finding could help yield better earthquake forecasts ...

MIT scientists have unraveled the hidden energy balance of earthquakes by recreating them in the lab. Their findings show that while only a sliver of energy goes into the shaking we feel on the ...

Scientists discover alternative cellular process for producing heat that may enhance metabolic health. Researchers at ...

A Hiroshima University team has designed a feasible way to detect the Unruh effect, where acceleration turns quantum vacuum ...

142 nonillion degrees is beyond imagination - but what would actually happen at that heat? This video explores the physics-breaking consequences of reaching such a mind-melting temperature. D.C.

Scrambled eggs are the breakfast hero, praised for how easy they are yet how incredibly versatile. Simple single-ingredient wonder that is, this magic is turned into a tender, puffed-about swirl of ...
