Researchers in China have developed a thin ceramifiable silicone foam composite that they say can prevent thermal runaway ...

Results shown in this article were published in a scientific journal of the Nature publishing group, Scientific Reports. In order to achieve nuclear fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine ...

A gradient laminated architecture is engineered to resolve the intrinsic trade off between thermal insulation and impact toughness via synergistic ceramization. The composite exhibits exceptional ...

Researchers have discovered that MXenes, a type of material known for its excellent electrical conductivity, actually have very low thermal conductivity. This finding challenges the usual link between ...

How graphene-infused foam has been evaluated as a tunable thermal resistor for passive adjustable cooling. The modeling that was done to investigate the concept. The two test fixtures used to measure ...

Electronics, and batteries in particular, are vulnerable to very high or very low temperatures, but a new thermal switch could help deal with both. It's made from (what else) graphene foam that can ...

In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...
