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

Soil thermal conductivity is a critical parameter that governs the ability of the ground to transfer heat. It is influenced by a complex interplay of factors such as soil composition, moisture content ...

Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...

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

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

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

Thermal conductivity in rocks and minerals is a fundamental property that governs the transfer of heat through the Earth’s lithosphere. Its measurement is integral to geophysical surveys, geothermal ...

A team led by Prof. WU Zhongqing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) predicted the thermal conductivity of bridgmanite (Brg) and post ...

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 ...

Semiconductors are a key component in smartphones, televisions, and other devices used in daily life using these devices generates heat, resulting in performance degradation and a shorter product life ...
