Discover how heat resistant materials and material science innovations help electronics manufacturing manage rising temperatures, boost reliability, and enable smaller, more powerful next‑generation ...

For polar bears, the insulation provided by their fat, skin, and fur is a matter of survival in the frigid Arctic. For engineers, polar bear hair is a dream template for synthetic materials that might ...

Kevlar and Twaron are famously tough materials, but there’s a bit of a trade-off to be made between strength, heat resistance and weight. Now, researchers have created a new nanofiber version of the ...

Ceramics are versatile materials, as they’re not only known for their heat resistance, but also their strong qualities that make the materials perfect for pottery, armor, and various other consumer ...

A new, nearly weightless insulation material can withstand extreme heat that would destroy other materials. The porous aerogel is at least 99 percent open space, with the rest made up of an atomically ...

Autonomous vehicles redefine the car from a mechanically centered product into a fully integrated electronic system. As the ...

Scientists have developed and characterized a novel, extremely thin and transparent material that has different thermal conduction properties depending on the direction. While it can conduct heat ...

Electrical insulation materials and industrial laminates specialist Calidus Von Roll Isola has launched a new insulation system for low-voltage electrical equipment that can withstand extreme ...

Scientists have a new material they say is as strong as Kevlar and way more insulating. The resulting fiber structure could protect first responders and military personnel who are in danger from heat ...
