Scientists on the ISS are studying how condensation works in space to improve cooling systems for electronics on Earth and in ...

Scientists have long hailed diamond as nature’s ultimate heat conductor, but that crown may now belong to a synthetic crystal. Researchers at the University of Houston have discovered that boron ...

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.

Heat energy spontaneously goes from higher temperature to lower temperature. However, recently, a team from China and the USA (Kezhao Xiong and Zonghua Liu from East China Normal University, Chunhua ...
