Overview
The team behind the celebrated Nano: The Spectacular Science of the Very (Very) Small returns with another STEAM offering, melding curriculum science and inspiring, cutting-edge physics. When you feel too hot or too cold, it's your brain's job to send signals to your body to keep your temperature just right--by sweating (cooling you off) or shivering (moving your body to warm you up). But what makes things hot or cold? And what is temperature, exactly? Curl up in your climate-controlled corner and explore the extremes of heat and cold found on our planet and in outer space, while discovering what a difference just a single degree of temperature change can make. Then take in the mind-bending ways that temperature is being used and studied in STEAM industries today, from quantum computers that use superconductors at super-low temperatures to innovative research that takes a cue from the sun as it looks at fusion ignition as a potential source of energy around the world.
