A Fargo-based company has come up with a revolutionary way to produce massive quantities of portable heat using magnets instead of flame. The machines, capable of producing millions of British thermal ...

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a 'transverse' thermoelectric ...

When we think of powerful magnets used in particle accelerators or for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), we often envision bulky machines, sometimes the size of buildings. But in an extraordinary ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory have created a magnetic heat pump that works just as well as standard air conditioners and heaters without using harmful ...
