As IC design complexity and sensitivity rises and operating voltages fall, the use of constant (average) chip temperature models can lead to over-design or multiple design spins. The variation in ...

Driving force An experiment has confirmed that an oscillating temperature gradient boosts heat flow in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/Mervana) Physicists in the Czech Republic have shown that heat flows ...

In a new study, researchers have discovered that applying a small difference in temperature to a watered-down mixture of a compound called zirconium phosphate initiates its liquid crystallization. As ...

Physicists report that temperature gradients within pores in rock could have separated primitive biopolymers on the basis of their sequences -- a vital precondition for the formation of ...

In ectothermic organisms, it is hypothesized that metabolic rates mediate influences of temperature on the ecological and evolutionary processes governing biodiversity. However, it is unclear how and ...
