Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

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 ...

University of Houston researchers have made a discovery in thermal conductivity that overturns an existing theory that boron arsenide (BAs) couldn't compete with the heat conduction of a diamond.

A thermos bottle has the task of preserving the temperature -- but sometimes you want to achieve the opposite: Computer chips generate heat that must be dissipated as quickly as possible so that the ...
