Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and subducting at more than 10 centimeters per year remain sufficiently cold to ...

Typically heat conduction in solids is understood to be a diffusion process. "These are two very different physical processes," Liao said.

Gold's stability has been found to be 14 times its melting point, challenging thermodynamic principles, offering insights into extreme material behavior under ultrafast heating.

New research reveals that only the oldest and fastest-sinking oceanic plates can transport water deep into Earth’s mantle, due to the unique heat-transferring properties of the mineral olivine.

Mellen Oxidation and Diffusion Furnace Two Mellen clamshell furnaces are situated in room 428. These furnaces are designated for the growth of silicon oxide and thermal diffusion of n and p type ...

Directional thermal diffusion and insulation of in-plane anisotropic carbon fiber/CNF nanocomposite films. In a new study, scientists from Japan designed flexible thermal diffusion films made of ...

In a traditional thermal diffusion system, APT symmetry is not consequential because there is no gain or loss degree of freedom. Hence, the mechanical rotation is the key player here," he explained.

Thermal diffusion doping involves placing a source of dopant atoms (phosphorus or boron in this case) on top of the chip to be doped, heating the chip, and letting the dopant atoms diffuse into ...

Thus, there is a need for thermal diffusion materials that are thin and flexible and can be implemented in thin-film devices for efficient heat dissipation.

Typically heat conduction in solids is understood to be a diffusion process. "These are two very different physical processes," Liao said.
