Many of these theories sought to describe light as a ray -- a straight line moving from one point to another. Pythagoras, best known for the theorem of the right-angled triangle, proposed that vision resulted from light rays emerging from a person's eye and striking an object. Epicurus ...
A heat pump is a super-efficient, all-in-one electric heating and cooling system. Sometimes called mini-splits, they soak up heat from one place, then move it to another: Into your home in the winter, out of your home in the summer. But what exactly makes a heat pump so efficient ...
Another early Thermos flask patent filed by Burger's partner.BooksFor younger readersHow Does Heat Move by Alicia Klepeis, Cavendish Square, 2019. This is a fairly solid introduction to conduction, convection, radiation, and the basics of kinetic theory for ages 8–10. Eyewitness Energy by Jack...
Rather than recording a simple pattern of reflected light from a scene, it records the interference between the reference beam and the object beam. It does this as a pattern of tiny interference fringes. Each fringe can be smaller than one wavelength of the light used to create them. ...

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of an object with a heat capacity of 3.4 j / k from 17.34 k to 67.18 k? What is the difference between heat and temperature? How are the two concepts related? Does the quantity of "cold" move from one object to ...
When talking about action with young people, look for ways to make an impact that’s both systemic and relatable. “One of the important things to emphasize is that it will take us as individuals and us as systems to make a difference in solving this,” Schifter says. For instance, she...
The spacecraft would have to be able to dock with another object in space. The new capsule also needed to have more maneuverability than the Mercury spacecraft. Engineers based their design on the Mercury capsule, but made it larger so that two astronauts could travel together. A NASA ...
When a plane turns, the ailerons on one wing move up on one side and down on the other, which causes the aircraft to roll in the direction of the turn. Simultaneously, the tail rudder moves in the opposite direction of the turn and deflects air to make the turn. These combined air ...
Cloud environments almost always change over time. Businesses might migrate applications from one type of cloud service, such as VMs, to another, such as Kubernetes. They might move more workloads from on-premises to the cloud or expand from single-cloud architectures to hybrid ormulti-cloudconfi...
