UCLA researchers identify a metal with ~3× the heat conduction of copper, offering a potential leap in cooling for chips, AI accelerators, and next-gen electronic systems.

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 ...

Engineers have found that conduction of heat plays a larger role than previously thought in the dynamics of droplets on smooth surfaces that repel water. When driving in the rain, it's preferable that ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. As semiconductor densities increase, they are dissipating increasing amounts of power while at the same time decreasing ...

Modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.

Heat and mass ransfer by heat conduction, diffusion, and convection. (Linear phenomena only; heat transfer by radiation, natural convection, and mass transfer in concentrated solutions are not ...
