Heat usually travels in the very difficult to control “random walk”. The team of scientists at the MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, present a method by which the flow of heat can be controlled within new […]

This, as has been demonstrated by investigators from the University of Illinois, can be achieved through a combination of a design of atomic-scale materials and ultrafast measurements to regulate how heat flows between two materials across an interface.  In a study published this week in Nature […]
