Scientists have developed a groundbreaking material that barely changes size with temperature, defying the usual expansion of ...

Unlike most materials, cordierite displays an unusual combination of thermal expansions: low positive expansion along two perpendicular axes and negative expansion along the third. This unique ...

If thermal expansion occurs on a hot day the tracks will expand. Leaving a small space for the tracks to expand into means they will not buckle. The water level in the capillary tube is initially ...

If you love a good, hot soak in the bath or a steamy shower, you probably have your water heater to thank. Water heaters are often essential for keeping hot water steadily flowing in your home ...

(Courtesy: M Dove and L Li/Matter) The anomalous and ultra-low thermal expansion of cordierite results from the interplay between lattice vibrations and the elastic properties of the material. That is ...
