Interdisciplinary Study From Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute Demonstrates New Method for Significantly Increasing Heat Transfer
Rate Across Two Different Materials
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute has developed a new method for significantly increasing
the heat transfer rate across two different materials. Results of the team’s
study, published in the journal Nature Materials, could enable new advances in
cooling computer chips and lighting-emitting diode (LED) devices, collecting
solar power, harvesting waste heat, and other applications.
