In most conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature rises because heat-carrying lattice vibrations—called phonons—scatter more frequently.

Infrared cameras inform a convolutional neural network that determines the melt-fraction level of phase change materials.

Phase change energy storage technology has great potential for enhancing the efficient conversion and storage of energy. While triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures have shown promise in ...

With the development of aerospace and nuclear industries, the performance requirements for ultra-high temperature materials are becoming more and more stringent. High-entropy carbide ceramics, as a ...

Physicists with the U.S. Department of Energy have discovered a new phase of matter—and, with apologies to George R. R. Martin, it's something of "a song of ice and fire." The new phase comes in the ...
