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

Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed ...

Thermal transport across solid–solid interfaces is vital for advanced electronic and photonic applications, yet conventional conduction pathways often restrict performance. In polar crystals, ...

In this study, to advance the deployment of nano‑microbead reflective insulation in green, low‑carbon buildings, we developed a three‑dimensional mesoscopic model with randomly distributed nano‑beads ...

Copper moves the world’s heat. For more than a century it has been recognized as one of the best heat conductors in nature, and this property made copper the go-to choice to cool electronics, ...
