The fun part about crycoolers is that there are so many different and exciting ways to make stuff cold, based on a wide variety of physics. This is why after first exploring the Stirling/GM cycle and ...

Researchers in Japan observed the transverse Thomson effect for the very first time, a thermoelectric phenomenon that allows the control of the direction of heating and cooling flows by changing the ...

IT is generally asserted in text-books on thermodynamics and the properties of gases that the Joule–Thomson effect demonstrates conclusively that real gases are non-ideal. This is indeed the case, but ...

Physicists have finally observed a phenomenon whose predecessor was observed in the mid-19 Century. The scientists who made it happen claim the work may lead to better management of temperatures where ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...
