For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, ...
