UCLA scientists discover how to guide heat like light at room temperature

2 weeks ago 39

Managing heat efficiently inside solid materials is essential for developing faster, more reliable electronics. Until now, a wave-based form of heat transport called phonon focusing had only been observed at extremely low cryogenic temperatures, which made it difficult to study and limited its potential applications.

Researchers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have now shown that phonons, the atomic vibrations that carry heat and display quantum beha...
