Most materials in our world shrink in volume when cooled and expand when heated. Humans have known this for some time, and have built our civilization with that in mind. Yet, as we seek to expand ...

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...

The report 'Semiconductor Ceramic Packaging Materials Market by Material (Alumina, Aluminum Nitride, Silicon Nitride, Silicon ...

When the search for habitable exoplanets requires a 1,000 times more stable telescope than James Webb Space Telescope, even minimal material expansion down to a fraction of the width of an atom is the ...

All materials, with some exceptions, expand when they are heated. However, the amount of expansion per degree change in temperature varies depending on the substance. Since structures are made up of ...

Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is fascinating as it involves a material’s volume contraction rather than expansion upon heating. Although NTE lattices typically have highly flexible frameworks, the ...

The Saudi Arabia silica sand market offers promising opportunities in construction, glass, and foundry industries, fueled by ...

In any multi-die assembly, stacking two or more active dies results in thermal stress. Heat dissipated from a lower die faces ...

Materials scientists have been enchanted by the search for new materials that exceed the temperature capability of Ni-based superalloys for many decades. High melting point and solidus temperatures ...

In both residential and commercial buildings, heating and cooling cycles can take a toll on piping systems. When pipes expand due to heat and contract when they cool, they stress joints, supports, and ...
