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.

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...

Scientists have found the secret behind a property of solid materials known as ferroelectrics, showing that quasiparticles moving in wave-like patterns among vibrating atoms carry enough heat to turn ...

Researchers created a gas that doesn’t experience resistance or diffusion when cooled to freezing, proving it’s possible for ...

Deyu Li and Josh Caldwell, both Professors of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt, are part of a team of researchers who discovered a new heat dissipation channel using phonon polaritons that could ...

In 1986, American physicist Arthur Ashkin developed a fascinating tool that could gently pick and move microscopic objects like cells and molecules without touching them. This tool, called optical ...

This work can lead to more efficient heat removal from electronic devices, including such as smartphones, computers, and LEDs. Before the modern understanding of thermodynamics, scientists sometimes ...

Every time you tweet about your meal or check out a new LOLcat, your mobile device churns away to crunching bits and flinging data through the air to make it all happen seamlessly. While technology is ...

Continuing the heat transfer series, in this video we take a look at conduction and the heat equation. Fourier's law is used to calculate the rate at which heat is transferred through an object due to ...
