Imagine holding a narrow tube filled with salty water and watching it begin to freeze from one end. You might expect the ice ...

Thermal protective performance (TPP) generally is considered firefighting PPE’s thermal protection rating. Total heat loss (THL) is firefighting PPE’s “breathability.” The two ratings have been the ...

The key lies in how the rails are pre-stressed during installation. Engineers anchor them under tension so that seasonal temperature changes don’t cause dangerous warping or buckling. The result: ...

Don't expect to see an In-N-Out Burger on the East Coast anytime soon. Snyder said country music artist Kid Rock played a role in In-N-Out's expansion into the Southeast, adding he drew a new "map" of ...

Company Allvar working with NASA on NTE space telescope optics; other applications are possible. A new material that shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled could help enable the ultra ...

The UFL is once again set to field eight teams in its second season as a unified spring football league following the 2024 USFL and XFL merger. The UFL's 2025 format mimics that of most recent ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

Cordierite, the material behind heat-resistant pizza stones, has been shown to resist changes in size despite significant temperature fluctuations. The reasons for this have been largely unexplained ...

Thermal paste (otherwise known as thermal grease) is mentioned a lot more than you might think in gamer forums and by PC builders, which is surprising considering it’s just a small addition to any rig ...

Turning up the heat is costly when temperatures drop. While curling up under a heated blanket or busting out a space heater helps stave off the cold, thermal curtains provide an energy-free solution ...
