Researchers have invented a squid-skin inspired material that can wrap around a coffee cup to shield sensitive fingers from heat.

New discovery about the properties of water that could provide an exciting addendum to a phenomenon established over two centuries ago.

Materials scientists have developed a lightweight material that traps thermal energy when dry, but opens to let heat escape when sweating.

Researchers have made heat-resistant, pressure-detecting sensors that, when attached to seats, can tell whether a driver is drowsy or sick.

Imagine windows that can easily transform into mirrors, or super high-speed computers that run not on electrons but light.

Prior research has suggested that adding green spaces to cities can help reduce high air temperatures during the warm months.

An international research team has invented a 'smart' window material that controls heat transmission without blocking views.

Research team has designed a sustainable photovoltaic solar device that can heat water up to 80 degrees just like a regular electric heater.

Earth may have experienced cycles of dryness followed by massive rain storms hundreds of miles wide that could dump feet of rain per hour.

Low-grade waste heat (temperatures below 100 °C) could fit the bill provided we develop efficient energy harvesting technologies.

The brighter these LED technologies shine, the more inefficient they become, releasing more energy as heat instead of light.

Potential areas of application for the thermoelectric material include the automobile industry, heavy manufacturing industries and engines
