A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three ...

Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.

Metals are known as good conductors of both heat and electricity. Regardless of temperature or other factors, typical conductivity does not change. This property is known as the Wiedemann-Franz Law.

Theta-phase tantalum nitride conducts heat nearly three times better than copper, opening new pathways for cooling electronics, AI, and quantum hardware. (Nanowerk News) A UCLA-led, multi-institution ...

Berkeley Lab scientists Junqiao Wu, Fan Yang, and Changhyun Ko are working at the nano-Auger electron spectroscopy instrument at the Molecular Foundry, a DOE Office of Science User Facility. They used ...

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 ...

Engineers have flipped the picture of the standard polymer insulator, by fabricating thin polymer films that conduct heat -- an ability normally associated with metals. In experiments, they found the ...

To their surprise, they found that the thermal conductivity attributed to the electrons is ten times smaller than what would be expected from the Wiedemann-Franz Law. "The electrons were moving in ...

We've found the first metal that can conduct electricity with hardly any heat at room temperature, breaking a long-standing rule of materials science. We don't know whether it's good for anything, but ...
