Femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures can be used to control thermal conductivity in thin film solids, report ...

Light undergoes a unique phenomenon called superscattering, an optical illusion where a very small object scatters far more ...

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 ...

Opposites attract and likes repel is a universal law in nature, with electromagnetic interactions being the most ingrained in our minds, such as the interaction between positive and negative poles, ...

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 ...

Aerogel is an excellent thermal insulator. So far, however, it has mainly been used on a large scale, for example in environmental technology, in physical experiments or in industrial catalysis.

As three-dimensional integrated circuit technology becomes the architectural backbone of AI, high-performance computing (HPC) ...

Retaining walls are constantly exposed to soil pressure, groundwater, and seasonal moisture changes. Even a small failure in waterproofing can lead to seepage, efflorescence, reinforcement ...

A research team at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating ...
