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

A team led by Prof. WU Zhongqing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) predicted the thermal conductivity of bridgmanite (Brg) and post ...

Scientists demonstrate that breaking the trade-off problem between thermopower and conductivity improves thermoelectric performance. They suggest introducing lattice strain into Mott insulator oxide ...
