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 ...

Custom thermal management materials help EV battery designers control heat, improve safety, and enhance performance.

In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...

University of Houston researchers have made a discovery in thermal conductivity that overturns an existing theory that boron arsenide (BAs) couldn't compete with the heat conduction of a diamond.

Fourth Power, a startup founded by MIT Professor Asegun Henry, has developed a commercially scalable thermal battery by using ...
