A sophisticated halide material can go from diode to non-diode and back depending on the temperature differential across its terminals. How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based ...

As IC design complexity and sensitivity rises and operating voltages fall, the use of constant (average) chip temperature models can lead to over-design or multiple design spins. The variation in ...

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 ...

Driving force An experiment has confirmed that an oscillating temperature gradient boosts heat flow in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/Mervana) Physicists in the Czech Republic have shown that heat flows ...

Physicists report that temperature gradients within pores in rock could have separated primitive biopolymers on the basis of their sequences -- a vital precondition for the formation of ...

the UV to about 3.5um in the infrared, and their melting point is 2040 C. Sapphire fibres are used for pyrometry in high temperature systems such as turbine and internal combustion engines. While ...

Horizontal and vertical gradients of humidity and of temperature were set up in sand columns and the conditions within them monitored by appropriate sensors. Arenivaga nymphs, tagged with the ...
