Measuring how heat moves through materials is crucial for developing efficient electronics and energy devices. For example, better heat management can lead to faster and more reliable computers, as ...

Keeping electronic devices cool is important when considering both their function and durability, as temperature influences material properties and energy flow. The temperature of "hot spots" that can ...

Driving force An experiment has confirmed that an oscillating temperature gradient boosts heat flow in fluids. (Courtesy: iStock/Mervana) Physicists in the Czech Republic have shown that heat flows ...

Innovative micro- and nanoscale designs enhance thermal management, addressing overheating in electronics. They may be the ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

Researchers in the US have revealed that heat does not flow as expected between different materials when they are in a super-hot, ultra-dense state known as high-energy-density plasma. The experiment, ...

The strange world of quantum mechanics just got a little stranger with the discovery that a magnetic field can control the flow of heat from one body to another. First predicted nearly 50 years ago, ...

With Heat Flow Calorimetry (HFC) small heat effects can be measured during an isothermal measurement of the sample. Mainly used for the lifetime prediction of gunpowder. Large sample size, up to a ...

From smartphones to supercomputers, electronics have a heat problem. Modern computer chips suffer from microscopic “hotspots” with power density levels that exceed those of rocket nozzles and even ...
