Heat

How to treat heat like lightNew approach using nanoparticle alloys allows heat to be focused or reflected just like electromagnetic waves.

Research update: Jumping droplets help heat transferScalable nanopatterned surfaces designed by MIT researchers could make for more efficient power generation and desalination.

Bringing power to the people — and heat as wellSun-powered system developed by MIT students could provide electricity, heat and cooling to rural schools and clinics.

New chip captures power from multiple sourcesSystem developed at MIT could combine power harvested from light, heat and vibrations to run monitoring systems.

Explained: PhononsWhen trying to control the way heat moves through solids, it is often useful to think of it as a flow of particles.
