QUT researchers have identified why some materials can block heat more effectively, which is a key feature for energy conversion, insulation and gas storage.

In a new study, researchers have designed and demonstrated a novel type of polymer demonstrating a switchable thermal conductivity controlled by light. The material has the potential to route the ...

Phase change materials display a surprisingly low thermal conductivity even in the crystalline state. Optical data carriers such as DVDs, Blu-rays and CD-RWs store data in layers of so-called "phase ...
