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

Complex materials such as organic semiconductors or the microporous metal-organic frameworks known as MOFs are already being used for numerous applications such as OLED displays, solar cells, gas ...

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 ...
