Copper moves the world's heat. For more than a century it has been recognized as one of the best heat conductors in nature, and this property made copper the go-to choice to cool electronics, ...

Hydrogen storage, heat conduction, gas storage, CO 2 and water sequestration—metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have extraordinary properties due to their unique structure in the form of microporous ...

An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has discovered a metal that combines electrical conductivity with internal polarity. This enables it to exhibit second harmonic ...

A radiometry technique directly measures thermal conductivity in molten metals and confirms the relationship with electrical resistivity. It’s hard to measure the thermal conductivity of metals at ...

Researchers have developed a novel two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) that has 10- to 15-times higher conductivity than the parent MOF that lacks such efficient ...
