Prof. Gal Shmuel of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology has developed an ...

In some cases, heat conduction can even be dramatically limited by the fact that different isotopes of an element are built into the material -- i.e. similar atoms with different numbers of neutrons.

Complex materials such as organic semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being used for numerous applications such as OLED displays, solar cells, gas ...

Temperature and heat are not the same. The temperature of an object is to do with how hot or cold it is. It is measured indegrees Celsius, °C, with a thermometer. Thermal energy is to do with the ...

Managing the heat generated by components has always been an important element of electronic design. It is even more true today as power densities continue to increase and individual components such ...
