A UCLA-led, multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals, challenging long-standing assumptions about the limits of ...

Theta-phase tantalum nitride conducts heat nearly three times better than copper, opening new pathways for cooling ...

The research identifies metallic theta-phase tantalum nitride (TaN₍θ₎) as the fastest heat-conducting metal ever measured. Led by Yongjie Hu of UCLA's Samueli School of Engineering, the ...

Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.

UCLA researchers identify a metal with ~3× the heat conduction of copper, offering a potential leap in cooling for chips, AI accelerators, and next-gen electronic systems.

Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free electrons. This efficient heat conduction triggers a stronger sensation of ...

Berkeley Lab scientists Junqiao Wu, Fan Yang, and Changhyun Ko are working at the nano-Auger electron spectroscopy instrument at the Molecular Foundry, a DOE Office of Science User Facility. They used ...
