A major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and ...

In order to remove heat, for example from computer chips, materials are needed which are extremely good at conducting heat. Scientists in Vienna have analyzed materials on an atomic level and found an ...

When electrons flow through a resistive material, heat is generated. It’s not uncommon for high-power IC chips to dissipate greater than 50 to 100 W. A few years back, projections showed that chips ...

You may have heard that some people are brave enough to walk across hot coals, but would you ever attempt to carry coals, or a whole fire, in your hands, for miles and miles? Cultures from around the ...

The power-semiconductor industry is experiencing growth exceeding 7% per year, driven by new applications such as electric cars and new technologies like silicon-carbide (SiC) and gallium-nitride ...
