When an electric vehicle is parked outside, its temperature can swing wildly from day to night and season to season, which can lead to deterioration of the battery. To dampen these fluctuations and extend the battery's lifespan, researchers…

There are many effects of climate change. Perhaps the most broadly known is global warming, which is caused by heat building up in various parts of the Earth system, such as the atmosphere, the ocean, the cryosphere and the land. 89 percent…

An international team of researchers, led by Drexel University, has found that a thin coating of MXene -- a type of two-dimensional nanomaterial discovered and studied at Drexel for more than a decade -- could enhance a material's ability…

The pieces are simple to connect, yet they're capable of building highly sophisticated structures. These structures can be used to filter toxic gasses out of the air or to store fuel for natural or hydrogen gas-powered engines. Plastic…

The agency said the improvement is driven by the strong recovery in electricity demand growth in the country. Image for representational purpose only. | Photo Credit: The Hindu Rating agency ICRA has revised the thermal power sector…

Rating agency ICRA has revised thermal power sector outlook to ‘stable’ from ‘negative’ due to strong demand growth and realisation of dues from discoms under LPS (late payment surcharge) scheme.The outlook for the thermal power segment has…

New research from North Carolina State University sheds light on how electric fields can be used to alter the thermal properties of ferroelectric materials, allowing engineers to manipulate the flow of heat through the materials.…

An effective, stable solid-state electrochemical transistor has been developed, heralding a new era in thermal management technology. In modern electronics, a large amount of heat is produced as waste during usage -- this is why devices…
