Physicists found a bizarre quantum state in graphene where electrons flow like a liquid and defy basic conduction rules ...
The quantum of thermal conductance, G Q = πk B 2 T/6ℏ, provides the fundamental upper limit for heat conduction through a single channel 8,9. Here, T is the temperature, k B denotes the Boltzmann ...
People who design spacecraft must prioritize two factors: reducing weight and managing extreme temperatures. A new experiment designed by Purdue University engineers addresses both problems. The Flow ...
A Purdue University experiment was sent to the International Space Station on Tuesday to collect data toward understanding how reduced gravity affects condensation. The experiment launched on Northrop ...
Inelastic insights: phasons were studied using the HYSPEC spectrometer on Oak Ridge’s Spallation Neutron Source. (Courtesy: ORNL) New insights into the exotic thermal behaviour of phasons – ...
Our technology loses a lot of energy as heat. For computing technology, the heat isn’t only a problem because the energy is ...
Technical ceramics are used in many applications where traditional materials such as steel or plastic are ineffective or unsuitable. For many of these applications, extreme hardness, wear resistance, ...
The thermoelectric effect can turn waste heat into electrical energy. To make use of it, special materials with unusual properties are required. A remarkable effect has now been demonstrated, which ...
Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...
