Scientists have discovered an exception to a 200-year-old natural law in science. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst were looking at Fourier's Law—the law of heat conduction that ...

For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been the go-to explanation for how heat diffuses through solid materials (at least on macro scales). However, a new study by scientists at the University of ...

Fourier's well-known heat equation, introduced in 1822, describes how temperature changes in space and time when heat flows through a material. In general, this formulation works well to describe heat ...

Scientists have discovered an exception to a 200-year-old scientific law that governs how heat diffuses through solid materials. Known as Fourier's law, it describes how heat is transferred, or ...

Fourier's law of heat conduction doesn't always hold — although precisely when it does, or doesn't, no one can yet say. As every physicist knows, Fourier's law of heat conduction states that the flow ...
