Our research demonstrates that linear elastic deformation alone can be used for highly energy-efficient heat pumping,” SUN said.

Sun’s team then fabricated a [100]-textured Ti₇₈Nb₂₂ martensitic polycrystal, which, when subjected to linear elastic deformation for heat pumping, exhibits a reversible temperature ...

Uturuncu, a dormant volcano in Bolivia, appeared to be getting ready to erupt following earthquakes and "sombrero" shaped deformation — scientists have now worked out what's going on beneath the ...
