Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.

Theta-phase tantalum nitride conducts heat nearly three times better than copper, opening new pathways for cooling ...

Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties.

The research identifies metallic theta-phase tantalum nitride (TaN₍θ₎) as the fastest heat-conducting metal ever measured. Led by Yongjie Hu of UCLA's Samueli School of Engineering, the ...

For the first time, researchers have reported a new family of materials that maintains its conductivity in liquid, liquid ...

Electrochemical devices such as fuel cells are becoming indispensable for new power generation technologies because they can efficiently produce renewable energy. Ceramic proton conductors can be used ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a new material that could change technology as we know it. This nano-scale, thin-film material is transparent and extremely conductive. Many ...

Modern winter jackets are also a testament to centuries-old physics and cutting-edge materials science.

The new materials conduct ions equally well as liquids, liquid crystals, and solids, with no steep decrease in ion movement when the salt solidifies. The team have achieved this result by designing a ...
