A new metallic compound has shattered a long standing barrier in heat management, conducting thermal energy nearly three times faster than the best conventional metals. The material, a special form of ...

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 ...

As electronic devices become more powerful and compact, thermal management has become one of the most critical challenges in advanced electronic packaging. High-performance processors used in AI ...

Apple's aluminum iPhone frames may be temporary. Here's what the company is actually working toward, and why it's taken 15 ...

Engineers have long assumed that heating metals always softens them, but how metals behave at extreme deformation rates remained unclear. This counterintuitive finding reframes purity as a design ...

Defying conventional scientific knowledge about electrical conductivity, the addition of a common carbon compound to copper to make electrical wires results in significant performance enhancements, ...

Thermal runaway is a rapid self-heating process in a cell, driven by exothermic reactions within its materials, resulting in the release of stored chemical energy. While it can be triggered by factors ...
