US researchers have found a way to double heat extraction from a transistor made from 2D materials. “In the field of nano-electronics, the poor heat dissipation of 2D materials has been a bottleneck ...

Heat is an interesting form of energy. Not only does it sustain life, make us comfortable and help us prepare our food, but understanding its properties is key to many fields of scientific research.

The conventional plastic shown on the left can't spread or dissipate heat, resulting in a localized hot spot. A new family of polymers from Cool Polymers Inc., Warwick, R.I., can replace metal, ...

When designing electronics, heat dissipated to the surroundings by micro devices is an important consideration because heat has a powerful and stringent effect on their operation and lifespan. When an ...

Heat transfer is the physical act of thermal energy being exchanged between two systems by dissipating heat. Temperature and the flow of heat are the basic principles of heat transfer. The amount of ...
