We were quite aware of the difficulties to be expected in making accurate measurements in that temperature region, and this applies specially to the heat conductivity in which we were particularly ...

Key fact: Thermal conductivity is a measure of how well a material conducts energy when it is heated. There are many solids that conduct thermal energy better than thermal insulators but do so ...

Report by BC Professor of Physics David Broido and international colleagues confirm high thermal conductivity predicted for isotopically enriched cubic boron nitride Research by Professor of Physics ...
