Crystals and glasses have opposite heat-conduction properties, which play a pivotal role in a variety of technologies. These ...

S cientists have predicted and experimentally confirmed the existence of a material with “hybrid crystal-glass thermal ...

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 ...

The study is published in Nature under the title "Probing phonon transport dynamics across an interface by electron microscopy." Phonons are central to heat conduction, electrical transport, and ...

At any temperature, the particles (atoms and molecules) of a substance, in this case a gas, move at different speeds. If energy is added by heating, the particles move faster. If energy is removed by ...

The article discusses how increasing disorder in the atomic structure of materials influences macroscopic heat conduction — a critical property for heat-management technologies. The materials studied ...
