Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...
Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.
New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...
In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...
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 ...
Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...
