Mechanical Engineering Professor Alan McGaughey of Carnegie Mellon University recently coordinated the Phonon Olympics, ...

Assessing the thermal conductivity of various nanomaterials is essential to material engineering at the nanometric scale. Nanomaterials that conduct heat effectively for example, could be used to ...

IT is quite true that the sensitivity of the detector would be higher with a carrier gas of high thermal conductivity, provided that the hot wire can be maintained at the same temperature. In practice ...

QUT researchers have identified why some materials can block heat more effectively, which is a key feature for energy conversion, insulation and gas storage.

The first room-temperature light detector that can sense the full infrared spectrum has the potential to put heat vision technology into a contact lens. Unlike comparable mid- and far-infrared ...

Data for six carrier gases of different thermal conductivities show a linear correlation between the logarithm of thermal conductivity and detector response. Carbon dioxide with a lower thermal ...
