Researchers are using XSEDE supercomputing resources in the search for new materials for power-efficient electronics. Smaller electronic components offer us more power in our pockets. But thinner and ...

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 ...

The thermal conductivity of graphene strongly depends on the material’s isotopic composition. So say researchers in the US and China, who have shown that graphene made from pure carbon-12 has a much ...

Fundamentals of heat transfer by conduction, convection, radiation. Steady and transient heat conduction in solids. Forced and free convection in fluids. properties of thermal radiation. Radiation ...

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.

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 ...

There are various things we need for survival. Like water, food and energy. On the last point, our primary source of energy is the Sun, but our relationship with it can only be described as delicate.
