New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...
Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...
People who design spacecraft must prioritize two factors: reducing weight and managing extreme temperatures. A new experiment designed by Purdue University engineers addresses both problems. The Flow ...
The quantum of thermal conductance, G Q = πk B 2 T/6ℏ, provides the fundamental upper limit for heat conduction through a single channel 8,9. Here, T is the temperature, k B denotes the Boltzmann ...
Combining state-of-the-art realistic atomistic modelling and experiments, the paper describes how thermal conductivity of ultrathin silicon membranes is controlled to large extent by the structure and ...

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, ...
The particles of liquids are further apart than solids. This means that most liquids are poor conductors of heat because the frequency of collisions is reduced. The particles of gases are even further ...
