Researchers examined a tridymite sample from a 1724 meteorite and verified that it had a glass-crystal intermediate atomic ...

A rare mineral from a 1724 meteorite defies the rules of heat flow, acting like both a crystal and a glass. Thanks to AI and ...

Crystals and glasses have opposite heat-conduction properties, which play a pivotal role in a variety of technologies. These ...

The thermal conductivity experiment showed that the diamond containing composite had bulk thermal conductivities of up to ~110 W m-1 K-1, with larger filler particles yielding greater thermal ...

Aerospace and harsh industrial settings could be among them. For medical, semiconductor, and instrumentation applications, components of electrical or thermal insulation and resistance to many types ...

A building with walls of a high thermal conductivity will cool down faster than one with walls of a low thermal conductivity. The graph shows an example of this difference.
