A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...
Researchers show that a modified crystalline nitride can suppress heat flow to near-amorphous levels, offering a new route to ...
Discovering materials that exhibit completely insulating thermal behavior—or, conversely, extraordinarily high thermal conductivity—has long been a ...
A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...
Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...
The research identifies metallic theta-phase tantalum nitride (TaN₍θ₎) as the fastest heat-conducting metal ever measured. Led by Yongjie Hu of UCLA's Samueli School of Engineering, the ...
Imagine a device that lets you move heat very quickly from one place to another, yet needs no power, no electricity, no pumps and no moving parts. You might think, "Sure, that's what metals like ...
Diamond is the hardest material found in nature—diamond also has the highest thermal conductivity, allowing the most heat to flow through it rapidly. An international team of scientists discovered ...
Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are common and (look) simple, but simple (and usefully accurate) design models and equations for them are less common. This design model has served well in a variety of ...
