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 ...

Researchers have discovered a new way of harnessing temperature gradients in fluids to propel objects. In the natural world, the mechanism may influence the motion of icebergs floating on the sea and ...

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 ...

This new organic thermoelectric device can convert room temperature heat, which is abundant in living environments and was previously not considered a possible energy source, into usable electrical ...
