Heat usually follows a predictable path—spreading outward from a hot source until it dissipates evenly. But in some exotic ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an earthquake. As ...

Incorporating solar activity predictions into detailed Earth temperature models may improve seismic forecasts and save lives.

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists have discovered a novel approach to detecting the quantum ...

Plants use quantum mechanics to optimize photosynthesis, inspiring new artificial light-harvesting technologies.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation in December 2024 to require that all school districts in the state develop ...

Every day, a massive amount of energy is lost as heat. In fact, two-thirds of all energy we use ends up as waste heat. Imagine if we could capture that heat and turn it into electricity—that’s ...
