A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Prof. Gal Shmuel of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology has developed an ...

It was one of the "missing pieces" in the Theoretical Physics of Materials puzzle and researchers have finally found it: for the first time, the phenomenon of thermal conduction has been accounted for ...

Conduction is the direct flow of heat from your warm body into your colder surroundings. In winter, all that heat escaping ...

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: ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

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 ...

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 ...

The three states of matter can be represented by the particle model. This model explains the properties of substances in their different states, as well as changes of state. Thermal properties and ...
