Space probes, gas pipelines, and other applications require an ongoing source of thermoelectric power without direct human maintenance, but current technologies for the corresponding energy conversion ...

Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals.

Probes were constructed to measure non-destructively the moisture content of soil in a pot. The thermal conductivity of the soil was determined using a line-source of heat which yielded measurements ...

This research has enabled them to determine both the in- and out-of-plane electrical conductivity of these materials through a single experiment. These conductivities can be used in accurate ...
