Researchers have shown for the first time that heat transfer in the form of infrared radiation can influence chemical reactions more strongly than traditional convection and conduction methods.

In a joint experimental-theoretical work, a team of researchers, including theorists from UC San Diego, have shown for the first time that heat ...

Using an optical cavity to confine infrared light waves, researchers focused on the thermal dehydration of an inorganic crystal, copper sulfate pentahydrate. They found that light-matter ...
