The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, ...

Steel parts and aluminum cans could soon be made with far less energy, thanks to the University of Florida. In a collaboration backed by nearly $11 million in federal funding, UF scientists have ...

In order to achieve fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine and maintain high-temperature plasma in a magnetic field. To achieve this, the turbulence that causes the plasma temperature to ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...

Artistic visualization of a crystalline rod made of the semimetal ZrTe 5. There is a heat gradient from one end to the other. In its center, giant oscillations in its heat conduction are toggled by ...
