Events for “temperatures”

Gamer uncovers factory plastic left on RTX 3070 VRM pads after five years, causing overheating — claims removal and repasting dropped GPU hotspot temperatures b

In a bizarre quality control issue, a gamer discovered protective film on the VRM thermal pads of their Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC graphics card. As per a Reddit post by u/buczi94 , the GPU was purchased brand new and had never been disassembled or sent for any sort of repairs.

Kyoto University builds transistor that survives 600C temperatures, compatible with standard fabs — Standard ion implantation and bottom-gate design fix leakage

A research team at Kyoto University has built a silicon carbide (SiC) transistor that operates at 600°C (873 K) using ion implantation, the doping step used across commercial chip fabs, and cut the gap between its designed and measured threshold voltage to under 0.1V at 400°C, do

Ocean temperatures hit 'very troubling' record high

Hot temperatures can dull blue morpho butterflies' iridescent scales

Blue morpho butterflies have captivated the human eye for centuries. We even have one as an emoji on our phones. In a recent experiment, researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) documented for the first time that hot temperatures during development can re

Five ways Europe's heat-wave summer is hot, hot, hot

Temperatures have been off the charts this year in Europe, the continent warming faster than any other continent. Here are five reasons why Europe's summer of 2026 will go down in the history of climate change:

How will European politicians react to a summer of extreme heat?

Europe this summer has had to face record breaking temperatures, which caused droughts, deaths, and caused devastating wildfires. While the latest heat dome has dissipated, the damage remains – the continent continues to be the fastest warming globally. Will this summer serve as

These trees are making air quality in cities worse

Nature, Published online: 20 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02586-2 They release compounds that contribute to ozone emissions, and rising temperatures could exacerbate the problem.

Foods for Hydration: 10 Water-Rich Foods to Quench Your Thirst

Fall temperatures are at a record high, which means fighting dehydration is more important than ever. These 10 foods can help.

How atmospheric dryness limits increases in typhoon rainfall

Under global warming, scientists have widely expected tropical cyclones (including typhoons and hurricanes) to bring more intense and frequent rainfall. The underlying physics seems intuitive: Rising temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more moisture, which, combined with in

Climate scientists solve monsoon puzzle and warn of risks to fisheries

A new study has reconciled a long-standing paradox in the South Asian summer monsoon cycle. Climate scientists have discovered why geological records from land and sea have told opposite stories about monsoons throughout history and found that rising temperatures over Southern Af

The superconducting gap of an ultrathin nickelate defies expectations

Superconductors are materials that carry electrical current with zero resistance below a specific critical temperature. In conventional superconductors, the transition to superconductivity generally occurs at very low temperatures.
