In a new study, researchers have discovered that applying a small difference in temperature to a watered-down mixture of a compound called zirconium phosphate initiates its liquid crystallization. As ...

Hyperthermia is a potentially non-invasive cancer treatment that capitalizes on the heat intolerance of cancer cells, which are more sensitive than normal cells. In order to induce effective ...

China ranks as the third-largest permafrost country globally, boasting the widest distribution of permafrost at mid-latitudes and high altitudes. Approximately three-quarters of the national land area ...

In an isolated system, any heterogeneity of intensive properties, such as temperature, pressure, or density, becomes homogeneous over time, resulting in increased entropy according to the Clausius ...

Researchers have identified how in-plane temperature gradients inside lithium-ion batteries can either protect cells during fast charging or dramatically accelerate their degradation, offering a new ...
