Hot on the trail of temperature processing

Nature, 2015
Two studies investigate how information about temperature is processed in the brains of fruit flies, and reveal that different neuronal pathways transmit heating and cooling signals to higher brain regions. See Letters p.353 & p.358 Animals detect

Taking the temperature of hot electrons [PDF]

open access: possibleScience, 2018
Nanothermometry As electronic chips become smaller, efficient heat dissipation becomes a greater challenge. Electrons in such devices quickly accelerate over small distances, becoming “hot”—that is, out of equilibrium with the rest of the system. Weng et al.

Safe Touch Temperatures for Hot Plates

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1998
A finite difference heat transfer model has been developed to predict the Safe Touch Temperatures (STT) for plates made of different materials. SST can be defined as the highest temperature at which no pain is felt when the surface is touched for a long enough period to allow safe handling of the equipment. The criterion used to quantify damage is the “

Temperature of Dust in Hot Plasmas

Astrophysics, 2019
The thermal regime and emission characteristics of dust in hot plasmas (T=10 6 -10 7 K) in outer space are studied. These plasmas are encountered everywhere in the galactic interstellar medium, as well as in circumgalactic

Hot corrosion in a temperature gradient

Materials and Corrosion, 2000
Hot corrosion is the accelerated attack of materials at elevated temperatures that is induced by a thin film of fused salt. Many materials that experience hot corrosion are exposed to high heat fluxes and temperature gradients. The hot corrosion of metals can be described by the dissolution of a protective metal oxide into the fused salt and the ...

Hot surface temperatures of domestic appliances

Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2002
Domestic appliances are burning people. In the European Union, accidents requiring hospital treatment due to burns from hot objects account for between 0 and 1% of all such accidents. Young children are particularly at risk. These reported accidents requiring hospital treatment are also likely to be a small proportion of the total number of burns from ...
