When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

A well-established physical law describes the transfer of heat between two objects, but some physicists have long predicted that the law should break down when the objects are very close together.

Scientists have come up with a formula that describes the maximum heat transfer in such tight scenarios. The sun's warmth crosses millions of miles of empty space to create a summer day; a campfire ...
