A team led by Prof. WU Zhongqing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) predicted the thermal conductivity of bridgmanite (Brg) and post ...

A team of researchers has found a way to manipulate both the thermal conductivity and the electrical conductivity of materials simply by changing the external conditions, such as the surrounding ...

High-power electronics are pushing PCBs to their thermal limits, demanding smarter materials, layouts, and cooling strategies. Engineers are turning to advanced substrates, copper designs, and hybrid ...

The last few decades have witnessed a tremendous advance in electronics technology, with the development of devices that are thinner, lightweight, flexible, and robust. However, as the devices get ...

As electronic content in vehicles continues to rise, designers must find solutions for reliability under intense heat, advises Daren McClearnon. Heat kills semiconductors and automotive environments ...

A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Joule heating, also known as resistive or Ohmic heating, is the power lost to heat as electrical current flows down a conductor. We were introduced to Joule’s first law (Power dissipation = I²R, VI, ...

Researchers have developed a graphene assembled film that has over 60 percent higher thermal conductivity than graphite film -- despite the fact that graphite simply consists of many layers of ...

Heat is a ubiquitous form of energy that, unlike others, is notoriously difficult to store due to its natural tendency to ...
