In a first, researchers have developed a new copper alloy that's one of the most resilient copper-based materials ever made.

They are essential for power electronics due to their ability to efficiently dissipate heat. These materials fill the ...

When materials are created on a nanometer scale -- just a handful of atoms thick -- even the thermal energy present at room temperature can cause structural ripples. How these ripples affect the ...

As a result, the material achieved an ultralow thermal conductivity of just 0.016 W·m-1 ·K-1 at 1,100 °C, which is among the lowest reported for such materials. This study paves a novel pathway ...
