NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...

Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...

Electropulsing treatment (EPT) is a state-of-the-art technology for rapidly heating metallic materials. The highly ...

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.

Japan’s Toray Industries Inc. has developed a thermal conductivity technology that raises the heat-dissipating properties of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to that of metals. Applying this ...
