A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of materials that simultaneously offer low thermal conductivity, mechanical ...

Fractal analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating thermal conductivity in porous media. By utilising complex mathematical constructs, researchers are now able to elucidate the ...

Researchers show that a modified crystalline nitride can suppress heat flow to near-amorphous levels, offering a new route to durable thermal insulation.

University of Houston researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in thermal conductivity, overturning an existing theory that boron arsenide (BAs) couldn’t compete with the heat conduction of a ...

Researchers have solved a long-standing puzzle about lower measured thermal conductivity values of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) bulk crystals in the literature than the structurally more complex ...

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 ...

Discovering materials that exhibit completely insulating thermal behavior—or, conversely, extraordinarily high thermal conductivity—has long been a ...
