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 ...

Physicists in Switzerland are the first to use ultracold atoms to simulate one of the most technologically important properties of solid matter: electrical conduction. The experiment involves watching ...

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

Physicists in Japan have gained important new insights into how DNA might behave as an electrical conductor. Their discovery could help provide a better understanding of the role that conduction plays ...
