The quantum of thermal conductance, G Q = πk B 2 T/6ℏ, provides the fundamental upper limit for heat conduction through a single channel 8,9. Here, T is the temperature, k B denotes the Boltzmann ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...

Modern portable and wearable electronic devices increasingly integrate high-performance components and wireless communication technologies. While this integration enhances functionality, it also ...

A team of physicists has demonstrated that a microwave quantum network linking two superconducting qubits can maintain coherent operation even when its transmission line sits at 4 Kelvin, a ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

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 the structure and ...

Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...

The particles of liquids are further apart than solids. This means that most liquids are poor conductors of heat because the frequency of collisions is reduced. The particles of gases are even further ...
