Heat is something of a nuisance for electrical engineers. It reduces the reliability of electronic devices and even causes them to fail completely. That’s why computer components are liberally smeared ...
Managing heat is a major challenge in electronics and engineering, and it’s controlled using materials that either conduct or insulate heat. A new material blurs that line by blocking heat in one ...

Crystalline material conducts heat even worse than glass and water—and that's promising
A research team from Aarhus University, Denmark, has measured and explained the exceptionally low thermal conductivity of the crystalline material AgGaGe 3 Se 8. Despite its ordered structure, the ...
Discover how heat resistant materials and material science innovations help electronics manufacturing manage rising temperatures, boost reliability, and enable smaller, more powerful next‑generation ...
Scientists know well how conventional materials conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme ...
Moving heat around where you want it to go—adding it to houses and hairdryers, removing it from car engines and refrigerators—is one of the great challenges of engineering. All activity generates heat ...
Different kinds of materials can play different roles when it comes to controlling heat. If we want to keep our home warm in the depths of winter, insulating layers in our walls can help to lock it in ...
