Imagine if you could heat or cool your home just by plucking the desired comfort level out of the air. Israeli startup ThermoTerra can.

A study by MIT researchers finds that indoor relative humidity may also influence transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

Scientists have confirmed that a “stabilizing feedback” on 100,000-year timescales keeps global temperatures in check and habitable.

Both hot and cold environments trigger a stress response in the human body and can lead to cardiovascular problems, new research finds.

With energy prices rising rapidly, a new startup could have the answer - technology that harnesses energy from fluctuations in humidity.

A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production

The results could one day help engineers design more resilient buildings, or even swarms of tiny robots that behave a lot like insects.

For the first time, physicists have observed novel quantum effects in a topological insulator at room temperature.

Textile engineers have developed a fabric woven out of ultra-fine nano-threads made in part of phase-change materials and other substances.

Research highlights that repeated cold exposure activates shivering as an alternative strategy to treat and prevent type 2 diabetes.

Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand.

They are showing off an adaptive heat-managing composite material they helped develop that is nicknamed after its inspiration: squid skin.

MedSENS consists of a probe about the size of an ear-plug, which contains innovative measuring sensors; the rescuer pushes it into the ear.

Karoo fossils provide “smoking gun” on clues to when warm-bloodedness evolved in pre-mammalian ancestors according to researchers.

Researchers find that the risks are reduced by 10-44% globally if warming is reduced to 1.5°C rather than 2°C or 3.66°C.

Records from past plant life tell the real story of global temperatures, according to research from a climate scientist.

Even drops of a few degrees can be tough on growing plants. If temperature swings become too large, that means less food for the planet.

The AquaBOT measures a range of water quality indicators, providing data for studies focused on clean water and sustainable energy.

Researchers have developed a tiny, battery-free sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind as it tumbles toward the ground.

Researchers have found that body temperature exerts a greater effect on lifespan than metabolic rate.
