When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...
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 major challenge in thermal-management and thermal-insulation technologies, across multiple industries, is the lack of ...

(Nanowerk News) Combining state-of-the-art realistic atomistic modelling and experiments, the paper describes how thermal conductivity of ultrathin silicon membranes is controlled to large extent by ...
In a recent experiment, to be published in Nature on Nov. 9, Dr. Matthias Meschke and professor Jukka Pekola, together with Dr. Wiebke Guichard, a coworker from French CNRS, investigated heat exchange ...
For two centuries, engineers have trusted a simple rule to predict how heat flows through solids, from jet-engine blades to smartphone chips. Now a set of carefully designed experiments has revealed a ...
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, ...
After a decade of work, Issam Mudawar will soon see the results of the largest phase change experiment ever conducted in space. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — People who design spacecraft must prioritize two ...
