...hold its shape against gravitational sag and gusting winds yet retain the capacity to make rapid adjustments to fluctuating temperatures. As mirror size increases, these two requirements begin to dictate different, and quickly contradictory, solutions. Very thick mirrors resist physical deformation extremely well, but because they retain so much heat, they tend to generate shimmering currents in the cold night air that play havoc with astronomers' observations. Very thin mirrors, on the other hand, have ideal thermal properties but a daunting physical handicap: as the telescope pans across the sky, a thin mirror will bend and wobble as if made...
According to Huff, the Ecolympic results--whichwere not announced at the event--listed North,Dunster, and Quincy as the top three finishers inthe year long competition to reduce heat, water,and electricity consumption
...controversy erupted when Seitz, an associate of the Olin Center for Strategic Studies at Harvard's Center of International Affairs, claimed in July of 1990 that GE had failed to credit him with the idea of an isotopically pure diamond that conducts heat 50 percent better than natural diamonds...
Seitz said he first "suggested the idea of making diamond crystals out of just one kind of atom and thus improving heat conduction" in 1972, while working as a research associate with Nobel prize-winning Professor Nicolaas Bloembergen at Harvard's Gordon McKay Laboratory...
...television, you can see the sweat, but in real life the Marathon is a truly messy business. Out of respect, the television does not show the Red Cross "Disaster Services" medical tents, each of which fill with a platoon of heat exhaustion victims. A man wearing a doctor's glove stands at each aid station with a handful of vaseline. Runners grab a blob and smear it around their groin and between the legs to prevent chafing...
