There are better heat conductors but they aren't practical materials for producing computer heatsinks: silver exceeds copper's thermal conductivity at 429W/mK (hence Arctic Silver thermal paste ...

If you can’t answer the riddle, don’t feel bad. Metal conductors usually conduct electricity and heat. Usually, that’s true, but researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley ...

Most metals share a lot of properties, such as being good conductors of heat and electricity. Non-metals often have the opposite properties. For example, they are usually poor conductors of heat ...

Sometimes we want to heat things up - like these beans. Oh, wait. Hang on. You need to put the beans in something first. But what should it be made of? Wood? Plastic? Or metal? The metal saucepan ...
