Mechanical Engineering Professor Alan McGaughey of Carnegie Mellon University recently coordinated the Phonon Olympics, ...

QUT researchers have identified why some materials can block heat more effectively, which is a key feature for energy ...

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

Researchers have succeeded in programming the thermal conductivity of a material for the first time. The work, which was carried out on a squid-inspired protein containing multiple DNA string repeats, ...

First experimental evidence of “ballistic” thermal transport across thin films of van der Waals layered semiconductors (in this case MoS 2). Courtesy: A Sood, Stanford University Researchers at ...

Stacking dies introduces layers of complexity driven by multi-physics interactions, which must be addressed at the start of ...

The distances between particles are smallest in the solid, they are larger in the liquid and larger again in the gas. The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their ...
