WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – New findings have solved a longstanding obstacle in research to understand the effects of heat conduction in solid materials, a critical issue in many applications, from energy ...

Recent technology for creating aligned structures and ribbons of carbon nanotubes is a step toward realising incredibly efficient heat conduits. In addition, composites with carbon nanotubes have been ...

Polymers are usually considered thermal insulators, because the amorphous arrangement of the molecular chains reduces the mean free path of heat-conducting phonons. The most common method to increase ...

Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a sustainable and controllable strategy to manipulate interfacial heat transfer, ...

Precision Ceramics, a division of McGeoch Technology, is a company dedicated to the engineering of technical ceramics. From procurement and supply through to technical design and specialist machining, ...

In this interview, Dyron Liverman, Oil and Gas Chemical Processing Sales Engineer from Paratherm, talks to AZoM about their range of thermal fluids and expertise in the chemical, oil, and gas industry ...

Great conductor: A sequence showing how thermal energy, which is carried by electrons, spreads through theta-phase tantalum nitride after the metallic material is struck by a pulse of light, from 0.1 ...

When designing electronics, heat dissipated to the surroundings by micro devices is an important consideration because heat has a powerful and stringent effect on their operation and lifespan. When an ...

The thermoelectric effect can turn waste heat into electrical energy. To make use of it, special materials with unusual properties are required. A remarkable effect has now been demonstrated, which ...
