New technology from University of Houston researchers could improve the way devices manage heat, thanks to a technique that allows heat to flow in only one direction. The innovation is known as ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

The energy needed to increase the temperature of a material is measured as heat capacity, which is a structure sensitive property. Traditional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) can readily ...
