Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...

Imagine a device that lets you move heat very quickly from one place to another, yet needs no power, no electricity, no pumps and no moving parts. You might think, "Sure, that's what metals like ...

Fractal analysis has emerged as a powerful tool for investigating thermal conductivity in porous media. By utilising complex mathematical constructs, researchers are now able to elucidate the ...

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 ...

Diamond is the hardest material found in nature—diamond also has the highest thermal conductivity, allowing the most heat to flow through it rapidly. An international team of scientists discovered ...

Thermoelectric coolers (TECs) are common and (look) simple, but simple (and usefully accurate) design models and equations for them are less common. This design model has served well in a variety of ...
