Thermal/Environmental barrier coatings (T/EBCs) are widely used in aircraft engines and power-generation gas turbines to protect hot-section superalloys and/or ceramic matrix composite components from ...

A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production and opening a variety of new possibilities in the control ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...

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 ...

A collaborative research team, led by the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery paves the way for the ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could significantly improve how buildings manage ...
