Phonons, arise! Small electric voltage alters conductivity in key materials

22 abril 2015

The creation of devices to control phonons — elusive atomic vibrations that transport heat energy in solids at speeds up to the speed of sound — has taken a step forward when researchers successfully altered the thermal conductivity of a widely used commercial material, using only a simple nine-volt battery.
