In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss. Worldwide, ...

MOCHI uses microscopic, air-filled channels to stop heat in its tracks while remaining nearly crystal clear. If scaled up, it ...

A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production and opening a variety of new possibilities in the control ...

Thermal/Environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) are widely used in aircraft engines and power-generation gas turbines to protect hot-section superalloys and/or ceramic matrix composite components from ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could significantly improve how buildings manage ...

Moving heat around where you want it to go—adding it to houses and hairdryers, removing it from car engines and refrigerators—is one of the great challenges of engineering. All activity generates heat ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...
