Organic thermoelectric devices (OTEs) convert waste heat into useful electric power, but they are not yet efficient enough ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) are an attractive alternative to thermal greases/pads. While their thermal conductivity is not as good as greases, they are more manufacturable. This paper reports on ...

The report "Technical Textiles Market by Material (Natural Fiber, Synthetic Polymer, Metal, Mineral, Regenerated Fiber), ...

There are lots of reasons your hearing your house creak at night; other than a haunting by your local ghost, there's probably a more mundane reason.

Product security and reliability are major concerns in the semiconductor and PCB fabrication industries. Because of this, ...

Although a variety of methods to predict the effective thermal conductivity of porous foams have been proposed, the response of such materials under dynamic compressive loading has generally not been ...

In a groundbreaking development, NASA has announced a new alloy that could be the key to unlocking ultra-stable space telescopes needed to detect exoplanets and their potential for habitability. This ...

A new material called Alloy 30 shrinks when it is heated and expands when it is cooled and it could help with telescope thermal stability.

This study experimentally and computationally investigates the convection heat transfer performance of metal foams (MFs) having the same pores per inch (PPI) but different porosities attached to a ...
