Scientists in the United States have discovered an electric field method to improve heat ...

A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

Processing diamond surfaces with femtosecond lasers yields a trade-off between hydrophilicity and low defect rate.

Managing heat is a major challenge in electronics and engineering, and it’s controlled using materials that either conduct or insulate heat. A new material blurs that line by blocking heat in one ...

A meteorite that fell in Germany in 1724 contains a form of silica that conducts heat in a stable manner and baffles physicists.

Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the “next big thing” in material science. But according to Purdue University researchers, its ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have discovered a way to make a versatile thermal conductor, with promise for more energy-efficient ...

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place ...
