EPFL researchers have shown theoretically that, in highly ordered materials, heat can flow toward warmer regions without violating the laws of thermodynamics. Their work could help design electronics ...

AMES, Iowa — Researchers at Iowa State University have developed a model to test how shading and air flow can improve indoor temperatures during the sweltering heat of Midwest summers. Passe’s ...

Passive thermal control relies on design features and materials like insulation layers, reflective coatings, and thermal barriers. Because passive solutions have no moving parts, they require less ...

There are many design aspects that are evaluated early in project development to help foresee potential problems that may arise during test & balance (TAB). Many of these include, but are not limited ...
