Using these natural designs as a guide, the team built a laminated composite made of alternating layers of pure copper foil ...

Zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials are widely used in precision optics, cryogenic equipment and sensors, where even small ...

Most materials in our world shrink in volume when cooled and expand when heated. Humans have known this for some time, and have built our civilization with that in mind. Yet, as we seek to expand ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...

Increasing electronic packaging density leads to a greater need for precise thermal management. Hence, for electrical ...

For advanced bonding schemes and panel operations, there is a high cost to discovering an interface issue late in the flow. Reliability improves when materials are specified as a system rather than as ...

The integration of multiple heterogeneous dies in a package is pivotal for extending Moore’s Law and enhancing performance, power efficiency, and functionality, but it also is raising significant ...

In both residential and commercial buildings, heating and cooling cycles can take a toll on piping systems. When pipes expand due to heat and contract when they cool, they stress joints, supports, and ...

Thermal management is controlling and manipulating heat to optimize the performance, safety, and longevity of various systems and processes. One of the primary concerns in the energy sector is the ...

Inspired by hierarchical structures found in nature, a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the ...
