Now, think about this for a little while, and you start to realize that metal has a few advantages over, say, wood when it comes to thermal conductivity. Metal is going to have its atoms and ...

In the quest to design the next generation of materials for modern devices—ones that are lightweight, flexible and excellent ...

The UMass Amherst-led team is challenging the common belief that perfect fillers are the best choice for creating thermally ...

Metals are good conductors of heat energy ... in because energy would be able to leave the house easily. Key fact: Thermal conductivity is a measure of how well a material conducts energy when ...

Metals and alloys are materials that are typically hard, malleable, and have good electrical and thermal conductivity. Alloys are made by melting two or more elements together, at least one of ...

A study from UMass Amherst shows that defective fillers in polymers improve heat dissipation by 160 %, offering new insights ...

A step forward in the development of diamond CMOS integrated circuits. A research team at NIMS has developed the world’s ...

Impact Innovations GmbH has developed a CSAM process for copper that combines ductility, bonding strength and thermal ...

The scientists say further research will include direct measurements of the alloy’s thermal conductivity compared to nickel-based alternatives, work to ready it for potential applications ...

In the quest to design the next generation of materials for modern devices -- ones that are lightweight, flexible and excellent at dissipating heat -- a team of researchers made a discovery: ...
