People who design spacecraft must prioritize two factors: reducing weight and managing extreme temperatures. A new experiment designed by Purdue University engineers addresses both problems. The Flow ...
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 ...
