Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) has emerged as a pivotal nanoscale characterisation tool to elucidate local thermal properties in advanced materials. By utilising a specialised probe integrated ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Osaka University and collaborating partners used straightforward chemical synthesis to modulate the phase transition of a thermal conductivity-switching block ...

Polymers are composed of very large molecules formed by a combination of different monomers (smaller and simpler molecules), which can be natural or synthetic. Polymers are the basis of many ...

Thermal management deals with problems arising from heat dissipation, thermal stresses and warping. It is critical in the packaging of power semiconductors and other microelectronic and optoelectronic ...
