The porous (Ta0.2Nb0.2Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2)C high-entropy ceramic possesses interconnected microspheres, abundant interface in the microspheres, and the severe lattice distortion of the high-entropy ...

In everyday life, materials that conduct electricity well, like metals, also tend to conduct heat. For instance, a metal spoon left in a hot cup of tea will get hot, while the ceramic mug remains cool ...

In a recent article in Advanced Functional Materials, researchers explored the growing shift from traditional bulk insulation materials to advanced porous structures made from micro and nanofibers.

For wells in an arctic environment, a simple method was developed for estimating the effect of thermal insulation on the maximum radius of thawing of permafrost and then determining thermal insulation ...

Speaker one Have you ever wondered how your take-away hot drinks stay hot? Or how some take-away cups are less effective? Let’s look at thermal insulation! Speaker two Yeah, all right. Now, thermal ...
