University of Houston researchers have made a discovery in thermal conductivity that overturns an existing theory that boron arsenide (BAs) couldn't compete with the heat conduction of a diamond.

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 ...
