Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston ...
Polymers are composed of very large molecules formed by a combination of different monomers (smaller and simpler molecules), which can be natural or synthetic. Polymers are the basis of many ...
