A team led by University of Minnesota scientists and engineers has discovered a new method for tuning the thermal conductivity of materials to control heat flow "on the fly." Their tuning range is the highest ever recorded among one-step processes in the field and will open a door to developing more energy-efficient and durable electronic devices. The U.S. National Science Foundation - supported research is published in Nature Communications. Just as electrical conductivity determines how well a material can transport electricity, thermal conductivity describes how well a material can transport heat.
