A new research paper looks at hybrid-filler polymer composites that raise thermal conductivity while remaining printable.

Scientists have developed a new microscope that significantly improves the way heat flow in materials can be measured. This advancement could lead to better designs for electronic devices and energy ...

Scientists show how a single atom can precisely control heat flow in molecules, opening new paths for efficient nanoelectronics and advanced thermal management systems.

Schematic of magnon-engineered thermal transport in a ferromagnetic metal / magnetic insulator junction (a) and a ferromagnetic metal / non-magnetic insulator junction (b). When magnons can pass ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

To understand how heat normally flows, you could study the second law of thermodynamics – or wrap your hands around a hot mug of coffee. Both tell us that heat tends to flow toward cooler regions. As ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a novel method for actively controlling heat flow in solids by utilizing the ...

Why is this type of thermal switch needed? How the ceramic material and structure was developed for superior performance. The results achieved with this material and arrangement. Many engineers are ...

Using a thermal sensor smaller than a grain of sand, engineers have measured the vibrations, or phonons, within individual molecules. Imagine you are playing the guitar -- each pluck of a string ...

Imagine you are playing the guitar—each pluck of a string creates a sound wave that vibrates and interacts with other waves. Now shrink that idea down to a small single molecule, and instead of sound ...
