Global Warming Has Increased Monthly Heat Records Worldwide by a Factor of Five, Study Finds
January 14, 2013 — Monthly temperature extremes have become much more frequent, as measurements from around the world indicate. On average, there are now five times as many record-breaking hot months worldwide than ... > full story -
How to Treat Heat Like Light: New Approach Using Nanoparticle Alloys Allows Heat to Be Focused or Reflected Just Like Electromagnetic Waves
January 11, 2013 — A new technique provides a new way of manipulating heat, allowing it to be controlled much as light waves can be manipulated by lenses and ... > full story -
Cluster Mission Indicates Turbulent Eddies May Warm the Solar Wind
January 8, 2013 — The sun ejects a continuous flow of electrically charged particles and magnetic fields in the form of the solar wind -- and this wind is hotter than it should be. A new study of data obtained by ... > full story -
New Biochip Technology Uses Tiny Whirlpools to Corral Microbes
January 8, 2013 — Researchers have demonstrated a new technology that combines a laser and electric fields to create tiny centrifuge-like whirlpools to separate particles and microbes by size, a potential ... > full story -
Heat-Resistant Corals Provide Clues to Climate Change Survival
January 8, 2013 — In a future shaped by climate change, only the strong -- or heat-resistant -- will survive. A new study opens a window into a genetic process that allows some corals to withstand unusually high ... > full story -
A Temperature Below Absolute Zero: Atoms at Negative Absolute Temperature Are the Hottest Systems in the World
January 4, 2013 — On the absolute temperature scale, which is used by physicists and is also called the Kelvin scale, it is not possible to go below zero – at least not in the sense of getting colder than zero ... > full story -
Jumping Droplets Help Heat Transfer: Scalable Nanopatterned Surfaces for More Efficient Power Generation and Desalination
January 3, 2013 — Many industrial plants depend on water vapor condensing on metal plates: In power plants, the resulting water is then returned to a boiler to be vaporized again; in desalination plants, it yields a ... > full story -
Nanoparticles Reach New Peaks: Researchers Show Short Laser Pulses Selectively Heat Gold Nanoparticles

Laws of Geo-Engineering to Mitigate Global Warming?
January 2, 2013 — A law professor believes the legal ramifications of geo-engineering need to be thought through now and a global governance structure put in place soon to oversee these efforts to fight climate ... > full story -
Super-Fine Sound Beam Could One Day Be an Invisible Scalpel
December 19, 2012 — A carbon-nanotube-coated lens that converts light to sound can focus high-pressure sound waves to finer points than ever before. The engineering researchers who developed the new therapeutic ... > full story
