A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Schematic of magnon-engineered thermal transport in a ferromagnetic metal / magnetic insulator junction (a) and a ferromagnetic metal / non-magnetic insulator junction (b). When magnons can pass ...

A multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material that conducts heat nearly three times more efficiently than copper or silver, which are presently the primary metals used for ...

Why it matters: For more than a century, copper and silver have set the standard for thermal conductivity in metals. A new study by UCLA engineers and their collaborators challenges that assumption, ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a novel method for actively controlling heat flow in solids by utilizing the ...

Thermal runaway is a rapid self-heating process in a cell, driven by exothermic reactions within its materials, resulting in the release of stored chemical energy. While it can be triggered by factors ...
