Plant fibers for sustainable devices: Research into thermal properties of cellulose nanofibers yields surprising results

Plant-derived materials such as cellulose often exhibit thermally insulating properties. A new material made from nanoscale cellulose fibers shows the reverse, high thermal conductivity....

Brief presence of water in Arabia Terra on Mars: Team studied thermal inertia to understand how rock layers were formed

As part of a team of collaborators from Northern Arizona University and Johns Hopkins University, NAU PhD candidate Ari Koeppel recently discovered that water...

Thermal energy storage with new solution meant to ease grid stress

Scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a simple way to better evaluate the potential of novel materials to store or...

Can You Use an Infrared Camera to Detect a Fever?

It turns out that the highest-intensity wavelength produced—the peak in the curve above—depends on the temperature of the object. As it gets hotter, the...
