14-11-06 The puzzle pieces of tectonic plates that make up the outer layer of earth are not rigid and don't fit together as nicely as we were taught in high school. A study published in the journal Geology by Corn Kreemer, an associate professor at the Unive...

14-06-11 Magnetic cooling is a promising new refrigeration technology boasting several advantages - ranging from lower energy consumption to eliminating the use of hazardous fluids - that combine to make it a much more environmentally friendly option than to...

13-12-18 The US space agency has ordered a series of emergency spacewalks to carry out repairs on a broken cooling line at the International Space Station. 美国太空总署下令进行一系列的紧急舱外活动以修复国际空间站一条破损的冷却管路。 The loops help cool inter...

13-11-21 Cooling systems generally rely on water pumped through pipes to remove unwanted heat. Now, researchers at MIT and in Australia have found a way of enhancing heat transfer in such systems by using magnetic fields, a method that could prevent hotspots...
