To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The ...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. This effect is extremely undesirable for many technical applications. Now, scientists have created a new material that hardly changes in length over an ...

The study uncovers the invar effect, enabling the creation of a pyrochlore magnet with unprecedented thermal expansion ...

However, this expansion can be a real problem for many technologies like precision instruments or spacecraft. That’s why ...

Supersonic Rebirth Since the beginning of air travel, the industry has always looked at ways to move more people quicker and/or cheaper. When supersonic flight was invented shortly after World War II, ...
