Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the 'next big thing' in material science. But according to researchers, its thermal properties may ...

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 ...

Discover how heat resistant materials and material science innovations help electronics manufacturing manage rising temperatures, boost reliability, and enable smaller, more powerful next‑generation ...

The calculation and/or the measurement of the thermal conductivity of materials is a fundamental challenge in materials science, essential for developing technologies in energy management, electronics ...

The demand for cost-effective but increasingly greater computing power over the last fifty years has driven research and development into new materials and processes to meet the demand. Devices have ...

A material known as cubic boron arsenide has two major advantages over silicon, research shows. It provides high mobility to both electrons and holes, and it has excellent thermal conductivity. It is, ...

Heat accumulation sets a speed limit on today’s computers and shortens the lifetime of telecommunications equipment. Electrical charges zipping through devices tend to lose some of their energy to ...

In a collaborative study with the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Boston College, University of Houston researchers found the thermal conductivity of boron arsenide can compete with ...
