First in-situ temperature measurement of the thermophysical properties of lunar farside regolith

Lunar regolith is a layer of loosely packed rocky grains deposited on the lunar surface, the physical and chemical properties of which are critical for deciphering the geologic history and designing lunar spacecraft. Since the Apollo era, there has been a lot of interest...

‘Extreme health belt’ to cover the middle of US by 2053: Report

According to a new study, an area of intensely warm weather—dubbed a "extreme heat belt"—with at least one day per year when the heat index exceeds 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 degrees Celsius) is expected to cover a US region home to more than 100...

Scientists investigate temperature effect on semiconductor optical amplifiers

Temperature's effect on the performance of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is an important research topic. Amer Kotb and colleagues from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics, and Physics investigated the effect of high temperatures on the performance of various...

Climate change negatively impacting bumblebees, study finds

Temperature changes have harmed the majority of bumblebee species over the last 120 years, according to new research published this week in Biology Letters. Temperature changes, the researcher note, had a greater negative impact than other factors such as precipitation or floral resources. "Bumblebees are...

Scientists developed wide-temperature range and high-voltage aqueous MXene planar micro-supercapacitors

A recent study led by Prof. Zhong-Shuai Wu (Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS))and Prof. Hui-Ming Cheng (Institute of Metal Research of CAS) has been published in National Science Review which examines aqueous MXene planar micro-supercapacitors. MXenes is a...

Heat flow shown to be more efficient when temperature is oscillating than when static

Institute of Scientific Instruments scientists have shown that heat flows more efficiently when the temperature of the material through which it is flowing oscillates. The study was published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Scientists described experiments they conducted with heating and cooling helium in...
