Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance computer chips that need to be cooled to energy converters—and is a highly ...

In close collaboration with researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), physicists in Augsburg have succeeded for the first time in proving experimentally and theoretically that heat transport ...

Scientists show how a single atom can precisely control heat flow in molecules, opening new paths for efficient nanoelectronics and advanced thermal management systems.

In a discovery recently published in Nature, MIT chemists led by Professor Alison Wendlandt have developed a precision ...
