In extreme conditions, heat does not flow between materials. It bounces off. A new study supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation shows, for the first time, how heat moves — or rather, doesn't — between materials in a high-energy-density plasma state. The work is expected to provide a better understanding of inertial… Read more at nsf.gov
