If a heat wave hit Melbourne and the power blacked out, most apartment buildings would bake, with indoor temperatures ...

Thermal-induced stress is now one of the leading causes of transistor failures, and it is becoming a top focus for chipmakers as more and different kinds of chips and materials are packaged together ...

A new study has quantified, for the first time, how much heat stress beef cattle actually experience across South America—as ...

With high temperatures increasingly affecting indoor workplaces, a newly enhanced mobile app offers real-time heat stress monitoring, health alerts, and risk assessment tools for employers and ...

Thermal management deals with problems arising from heat dissipation, thermal stresses and warping. It is critical in the packaging of power semiconductors and other microelectronic and optoelectronic ...

Managing thermal and mechanical stress in multi-die assemblies will require a detailed knowledge of how and where a device will be used, how it will be packaged, and where stresses could cause ...

Recent hot weather patterns indicate that as the global climate continues to warm, heat stress has become a critical concern across many industries including sheet metal and HVAC work. The physically ...

Extreme heat and cold can definitely break car windows, especially if the driver uses the A/C or defroster without letting temperatures normalize.

When temperatures increase, most materials tend to expand, causing a change in material dimensions. When two materials that exhibit different thermal expansion behaviors are in direct contact, such as ...

Laser-induced thermal stress and subsequent crack propagation have emerged as pivotal mechanisms in the precision machining of brittle materials. By utilising focused laser beams, localized heating ...

A new study finds that most beef cattle in South America experience hundreds to thousands of hours of heat-related discomfort each year, making heat stress one of the region’s most significant animal ...
