- Extreme heat Is becoming a bottom-line issue for business
Extreme heat is increasingly disrupting businesses, with North America experiencing twice as many heat waves since the mid-20th century. Utilities are modernizing power grids to meet air-conditioning demand, while AI data centers drive growth in cooling technologies. Construction and transportation sectors face rising costs and productivity challenges due to heat-related disruptions.
- This electric field trick boosted heat flow by nearly 300%
Researchers found that applying an electric field to certain ceramic materials can increase heat conduction by nearly threefold in a specific direction. This discovery could lead to more efficient cooling technologies and energy-saving devices.
