NASA scientists developing the next generation of exploration vehicles and heat shields for NASA’s Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle experienced “Christmas in July” when they uncrated the heat shields ...

A new nanoscale design channels hybrid light–vibration waves to carry heat more efficiently, allowing better thermal management in compact, energy-hungry electronics. Credit: College of Design and ...

A retooled, more permeable heat shield will be mounted on the Artemis III mission, but for Artemis II, the heat shield design will remain unchanged. According to NASA, the costs and further delays to ...

Atomically thin materials developed by Stanford University researchers could create heat-shields for cell phones or laptops that would protect people and temperature-sensitive components, in addition ...

Bringing a spacecraft back to Earth means dealing with the intense heat of reentry. Heat shields can protect a vehicle from high temperatures, but the shield is destroyed in the process. The ESA is ...
