A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...

When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.

The thermal conductivity of graphene strongly depends on the material’s isotopic composition. So say researchers in the US and China, who have shown that graphene made from pure carbon-12 has a much ...

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...

Anisotropy in action: artistic visualization of a propagating heat wave getting weaker as it approaches the top of the layered material, while spreading out in other directions. (Courtesy: ...

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 ...

David Cahill, Willett Professor and Department Head of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, talks to AZoNano about his research into the manipulation of ...

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 ...
