Before we convert temperature scales, let’s take a step back and think about what temperature is in the first place. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the random microscopic ...

Photo-control of electronic and optical properties on femtosecond (10 −15 s:fs) and picosecond (10 −12 s:ps) timescales at room temperature has been a long-sought goal of materials science as it would ...

Engines, laptops and power plants generate waste heat. Thermoelectric materials, which convert temperature gradients to electricity and vice versa, can recover some of that heat and improve energy ...
