Why it matters: For more than a century, copper and silver have set the standard for thermal conductivity in metals. A new study by UCLA engineers and their collaborators challenges that assumption, ...

A multi-institution research team has discovered a metallic material that conducts heat nearly three times more efficiently than copper or silver, which are presently the primary metals used for ...

A UCLA-led research team has identified a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity yet measured in a metal, challenging established limits on heat transport in metallic materials. A ...

A new technical paper titled “LEAD: Literature Enhanced Ab Initio Discovery of Nitride Dusting Layers for Enhanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance and Lower Resistance Magnetic Tunnel Junctions” was ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, lighting the path for future quantum innovations. Like perfectly controlled ...

The country's postwar identity is shifting. TOKYO -- The atomic bombings of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and Nagasaki three days later brought a scale of destruction the world had never seen. Many who ...

Scientists developed a new synthesis route for ultrathin photoanodes, which enables a 100 nm tantalum nitride layer to outperform much thicker films fabricated through conventional oxide precursors.
