New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Scientists in the United States have discovered an electric field method to improve heat ...

Technical ceramics are used in many applications where traditional materials such as steel or plastic are ineffective or unsuitable. For many of these applications, extreme hardness, wear resistance, ...

Engineers have flipped the picture of the standard polymer insulator, by fabricating thin polymer films that conduct heat -- an ability normally associated with metals. In experiments, they found the ...

A study shows how high-thermal dielectrics outperform FR-4 for bulk heat spreading, with surface-mount thermal bridges ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science, technology, and medicine news ...

Data center servers, powerful smartphones, and your computer's motherboard have one thing in common. When these devices get too hot, their performance takes a hit, and we can't have that. That's why ...
