A split system heat pump's defrost sensor is used to detect ice buildup on the heat pump's outdoor coil. When ice builds up on the coil, it reduces the heat pump's ability to transfer heat, which can ...

The ability to sense heat protects the body from burns and injury. But how the body actually feels temperature has remained an elusive mystery. Now, Northwestern University researchers have captured a ...

Italian researchers have reviewed different system configurations for photovoltaic-thermal solar-assisted heat pumps in buildings. They say that using the PV-thermal collector as the heat pump’s ...

Recently, magnons (units of electron spin excitation waves) have been considered for information processing. Especially, utilizing thermally excited energetic magnons have been of interest. In ...
