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

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 ...

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

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 ...

As electrons whiz around the nanosized circuits inside computer chips, they generate a lot of heat. And that waste heat creates a major headache for the electronics industry. It shortens the lifespan ...
