Heat shrink tubing is made of cross-linked polymers, which are polymers in which the monomer units are cross linked together ...

Heat shrink tubing, rarely referred to simply as “HST” even in our acronym-intensive world, is made of cross-linked polymers ...

He thought, why not try shrink wrapping them together? The only downside here is that the biggest tube that came with your average heat shrink multi-pack is probably a bit too tight to fit around ...

Weather stripping is useful for sealing around the moving components of a window, such as beneath a moving sash. Whereas ...

Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces.

Over 100 species show smaller bodies and larger beaks, aiding heat dissipation. Long-term warming increases beak size, but short-term heatwaves cause both body and beak shrinkage, possibly due to ...

Sea ice mediates the heat exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere (Fig. 1). In the summer, this ice reflects most of the radiation from the Sun, preventing it from reaching and warming the ...

The shape-shifting and shrinking that we see in birds indicate ... is that short-term spells of excessive heat can cause responses in bird shape that contradict the long-term trends.
