Spectral Emissivity Measurements For Radiation Thermometry Date: May 28, 2008 Source: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Summary: Industry and research are increasingly relying on non-contact ...

Excess heat, or waste heat, is heat that is not used after intermittent heat production. For example, during the spring in Korea when solar radiation is adequate, sufficient heat can be generated.

Right direction: the new neutrino detection method uses scintillation, Cherenkov radiation and the position of the Sun. (Courtesy: NASA/SDO) Until now, physicists measuring the properties of solar ...

So the authors wondered if mosquitoes could detect a more reliable directional cue, like infrared radiation. Within about 10 cm, these insects can detect the heat rising from our skin.

Heat management at the nanoscale has long been a cornerstone of advanced technological applications, ranging from high-performance electronics to quantum computing. Addressing this critical ...

Automated microscope tracks directional heat flow in thermoelectric materials for green energy. Story by Science X staff • 26m.

The material conducts heat 900 times as well in-plane as it does perpendicularly, setting a record for directional heat control (Nature 2021, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03867-8).

The directional approach to radiation detection also allows the person measuring an area to distinguish between multiple sources of radiation in an area, as well as determine the shape and size of ...

A new detector system based on the game 'Tetris' could enable inexpensive, accurate radiation detectors for monitoring nuclear sites. The spread of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi ...
