Modern portable and wearable electronic devices increasingly integrate high-performance components and wireless communication technologies. While this integration enhances functionality, it also ...

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found that applying an electric field to a specialized ceramic can nearly ...

In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

A study shows how high-thermal dielectrics outperform FR-4 for bulk heat spreading, with surface-mount thermal bridges ...

A team of physicists has demonstrated that a microwave quantum network linking two superconducting qubits can maintain coherent operation even when its transmission line sits at 4 Kelvin, a ...

Technical ceramics are used in many applications where traditional materials such as steel or plastic are ineffective or unsuitable. For many of these applications, extreme hardness, wear resistance, ...

Synthetic quartz may help reduce the carbon footprint of industries that produce things like glass, steel, and cement. In recent experiments, Federal University of Technology, Zurich, engineer ...

Thermal Conduction is a “hot” topic! Dr. Rob and the Crew explore how thermal energy is transferred and conserved in different environments. STEM Challenge: Making Thermal Oobleck Curious About ...
