A few months ago, a team of researchers led by Louis Taillefer at the University of Sherbrooke measured the thermal Hall conductivity in several compounds of copper, oxygen and other elements that are ...

Researchers created a novel functional composite of gallium with putty or paste-like physical properties. The composite possesses excellent electromagnetic shielding properties as well as thermal ...

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, ...

Scientists used electric fields to extend heat-carrying vibrations in ceramics, revealing a promising path toward solid-state devices that actively manage thermal energy flow. (Nanowerk News) New ...
