More heat is transferred between objects that are just a few nanometers apart than physics theory predicts. A research team at the University of Oldenburg has now confirmed this phenomenon, which was ...
Scientists on the ISS are studying how condensation works in space to improve cooling systems for electronics on Earth and in ...
Editor’s note: The KOIN 6 Weather team is presenting weather and science lessons to help serve our teachers and students. Click here for more lessons. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – We’re heating up the ...

European researchers aboard the ISS are investigating the fundamental nature of condensation to mitigate hazards to spacecraft electronics.
Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...

Condensation defying gravity
From dew at dawn to a foggy mirror after a shower, condensation is part of our daily lives on Earth. In space, microgravity alters how heat flows through gases and liquids, a potential enemy for ...
Quenching, a powerful heat transfer mechanism, is remarkably effective at transporting heat away. But in extreme environments ...
