In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...

A new insulation material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever measured for a fully dense solid has been created at the University of Oregon and tested by researchers at three other US ...

Epoxies, Etc. has introduced its 50-1220 product, a one-component thermal grease. This heavy-filled heat-sink compound provides high thermal conductivity, low bleed and high temperature stability.

In a recent article in Advanced Functional Materials, researchers explored the growing shift from traditional bulk insulation materials to advanced porous structures made from micro and nanofibers.

For wells in an arctic environment, a simple method was developed for estimating the effect of thermal insulation on the maximum radius of thawing of permafrost and then determining thermal insulation ...

Polymer electrostatic capacitors are important in advanced power electronic systems due to their high voltage resistance, rapid charge-discharge rate, and reliable performance. Growing demands from ...

Researchers have discovered that MXenes, a type of material known for its excellent electrical conductivity, actually have very low thermal conductivity. This finding challenges the usual link between ...
