Data center servers, powerful smartphones, and your computer's motherboard have one thing in common. When these devices get ...

Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties.

For the first time, researchers have reported a new family of materials that maintains its conductivity in liquid, liquid ...

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

Researchers show that a modified crystalline nitride can suppress heat flow to near-amorphous levels, offering a new route to ...

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 ...

Electron hopping is thought to occur by two mechanisms. The first mechanism predominates at high temperatures at which there is sufficient excess thermal energy to excite the electrons into the ...

The ability to engineer the thermal conductivity of materials allows us to control the flow of heat and derive novel functionalities such as thermal rectification, thermal switching and thermal ...

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 ...

[Ryan] designed a PCB that lets you easily take readings from a commercial electrical conductivity probe over I2C. Conductivity measurements are great for measuring the salinity of a solution, which ...

The operators of a new combined-cycle plant being run in two-shift mode (on 16 hours, off 8) had become used to the cation conductivity sample of the condensate pump discharge being in alarm for a ...

Georgia Tech scientists have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the ...
