Majority of materials are focus to thermal expansion which means to expand when heated and to contract when cooled. But thermal expansion can also be useful, making possible the workings of ...

Volume expansion takes placein liquids and gases. It depends in the change in temperature, fundamental volume, and the kind of substance. When something alters temperature, it increases or decreases ...

THE measurements of the thermal expansion of diamond made by Dembowska, which according to Grüneisen 1 appeared to support his well-known formula connecting the specific heat and thermal expansion ...

Formula 1 has serious restrictions on in-car cameras during races, but that doesn’t mean teams can’t get some useful data during qualifying. And some of the most important information comes from the ...

Cordierite, a remarkable mineral familiar to many as the material behind heat-resistant pizza stones, exhibits an unusual ability to resist changes in size despite significant temperature fluctuations ...

Company Allvar working with NASA on NTE space telescope optics; other applications are possible. A new material that shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled could help enable the ultra ...

Cordierite, the material behind heat-resistant pizza stones, has been shown to resist changes in size despite significant temperature fluctuations. The reasons for this have been largely unexplained ...
