Without temperature, there is no geology.
It could cut down on energy used for cooling by 31%.
I have it on very good authority that it's more than 20 degrees, for sure.
Pandemic or no pandemic, the climate continues to heat up year after year.
Not a good roadmark to pass.
The device could reveal that so-called asymptomatic cases may not be truly without symptoms.
So you know, stay at home, watch a movie.
California's power grids are buckling under heat as new temperature records are being set.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the hottest of them all?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
Let's not make a habit out of it.
How hot are you? Probably not as hot as you think.
A nationwide average temperature of 40.9 degrees Celsius this Tuesday set a new record for the land down under.
Hope y'all love heatwaves!
Nobody likes feeling cold.
A lot of hot days loom over the US.
Bye, bye curtains!
A bad record to set.
These are not the waves we're looking for.
100°F isn't something that puts a smile on your face.
Don't blame it on the genes, though.
It's not just low light that makes us sleepy.
2016 inches above it but only because of El Niño.
That spot is not a lake in cold, snow-covered Canada.
It also debunks one of climate deniers most cited argument.
That's one hot tomato!
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fireeee.
Beautiful.
When no longer needed the devices can be deactivated to dissolve and be reabsorbed into soft tissue.
It's like the ocean is having a heart attack.
Physics just got way cooler.
A Yale University researcher claims that the so-called Goldilocks planetary area only tells half of the story.
The findings could have implications for the survival of modern animals in the face of global warming.
A new research investigated various light intensity scenarios and reported their findings. For optimal learning performance, "cool" light is better while "yellow" or "warm" light is the most relaxing.
This polymer can change shape and release tremendous amounts of stored elastic energy relative to its weight simply by being exposed to a temperature change. This in itself isn't exactly new, but the team led by Chemical Engineering Professor Mitch Anthamatten at the University of Rochester innovated by making the polymer react to room temperature -- a first.
There’s almost no need to say it again – it’s been an exceptionally warm December, and an exceptionally warm year. In fact, it’s been the hottest year on record, with 7 of 11 months so far breaking the record. Things aren’t very different in the capital of the US, where temperatures have exceeded 50 degrees […]
Some applications require such a degree of precision that everything needs to be in exact order at the atom-scale. In an awesome feat of atomic manipulation, physicists from the University of Basel, in cooperation with team from Japan and Finland, have placed 20 atoms atop an insulated surface in the shape of a Swiss cross. Such […]
Temperature is an important physical parameter which greatly influences a system. Monitoring and/or manipulating this state parameter with great accuracy is thus of great importance to scientists. Recently, researchers part of DARPA’s Quantum-Assisted Sensing and Readout (QuASAR) program proved a new technique that allowed them to measure and control temperatures at the nanometer scale inside living cells. Measuring […]
Hydrogen is the most common element in the Universe. It’s the first element in the periodic table, and it has but one proton and one electron. Understanding how it behaves at very large pressures is crucial to our understanding of matter and the nature of hydrogen-rich planets. Under typical conditions, Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule […]
Since the start of the year, I’ve received quite a few questions regarding absolute temperatures – highest and lowest, so I decided to start a brief discussion around the two values, in which I will give the basic facts about them, so feel free to step in and add more info or questions. Absolute zero […]
In the evergrowing search for new energy sources, scientists have started searching for more simple solutions, and what they found was that heat can be an incredible ally. “In the search for new sources of energy, thermopower – the ability to convert temperature differences directly into electricity without wasteful intervening steps – is tremendously promising,” […]
Astronomy & Astrophysics has published spectroscopic observations of one of the hottest stars discovered so far – a white dwarf called KPD 0005+5106. The observations were made using the space-based Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), showing that the temperature can reach 200 000 K at the surface of the star. Temperatures can get so high that […]
