Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wavelike heat movement — known as phonon focusing — had only been observed at extremely low, or cryogenic, temperatures, limiting its study and practical use

A research team led by UCLA and the University of Rochester has demonstrated a promising evolution of an imaging system designed to capture details within “complex media,” which scatter light, from depicting structures inside body tissue to seeing obstacles through heavy fog

In the Santa Barbara home where Margherita Scussat and her younger brother grew up, their Italian-immigrant parents regularly made tomato sauce from scratch and whipped up nutritious plates of fish and fresh vegetables

Terahertz waves have major potential in high-speed communication, imaging, security screening and sensing, but are still underused due to complex and bulky systems

Plastic has become a ubiquitous part of modern life — in water bottles, shopping bags and car dashboards. But once discarded, it is among the hardest materials on earth to recycle.
