The thermal conductivity of boron arsenide can compete with diamond. Discover how this challenges theoretical limits and ...

Researchers in central China have developed a non-carbon-based heat-resistant material with potential for use in hypersonic vehicles, according to Chinese media reports. The team, led by Professor Fan ...

A new easy-to-fabricate electrical-barrier material has been designed with high thermal stability and flexibility. The Voltoid D-225FR achieves superior flame retardance in a wide range of ...

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 ...

Radiant heat travels through a home when the sun warms a roof. The heat is absorbed by the roofing materials, which then radiates its gained heat energy into cooler attic surfaces, according to the ...

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 ...

Shiny, flashy radiant barriers are a hot topic among Sunbelt homeowners interested in reducing their utility bills. Installed in attic air spaces between the roof decking and insulation, a radiant ...

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 ...
