Thermoelectric effect is a phenomenon that utilizes temperature difference to achieve electrical transport, offering potential solutions to the energy and environmental challenges faced by humanity.

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, ...

Researchers created a novel functional composite of gallium with putty or paste-like physical properties. The composite possesses excellent electromagnetic shielding properties as well as thermal ...

Researchers have solved a long-standing puzzle about lower measured thermal conductivity values of cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) bulk crystals in the literature than the structurally more complex ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat.

Chilled out: Researchers measured the thermal conductivity of Lego bricks near absolute zero, with a Lego “cryonaut” along for the ride. Credit: Credit: Josh Chawner Here at Newscripts, we’ve always ...
