A study shows how high-thermal dielectrics outperform FR-4 for bulk heat spreading, with surface-mount thermal bridges ...

Figure 1. Distribution of atomic rings extracted from TEM images: Smaller (red dots) atomic rings are dominant in Ge25 while Ge300 contains a higher proportion of larger (blue dots) atomic rings. 1.

Designing structural components that can power an electric vehicle requires a comprehensive testing regime to assess the strength, stiffness and thermal stability of battery materials Structural power ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have unveiled a breakthrough ...

Superatom crystals are periodic arrangements of C60 fullerenes and similarly sized inorganic molecular clusters. There are two nearly identical formations, one with rotating (i.e. orientationally ...

The materials testing allows for the study of mechanical and durability properties of structural and construction materials under various loading and environmental conditions. Our lab offers unique ...

Great conductor: A sequence showing how thermal energy, which is carried by electrons, spreads through theta-phase tantalum nitride after the metallic material is struck by a pulse of light, from 0.1 ...

A collaborative research team, led by the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery paves the way for the ...

Creeps are characterized as time-dependent permanent deformations that occur under constant stress at elevated temperatures. The material composition determines the onset of creep. For example, steel ...

A successful LED design needs a balance of form and function to be a desirable luminaire with the right lumen output. Sounds simple enough, but these two requirements are often in conflict. When form ...
