Recently, the need for miniaturization and high integration have steered a strong technical
wave in develo** (micro‐) electronic devices. However, excessive amounts of heat may …

The internet of things and growing demand for smaller and more advanced devices has
created the problem of high heat production in electronic equipment, which greatly reduces …

MXenes have the potential for efficient light-to-heat conversion in photothermal applications.
To effectively utilize MXenes in such applications, it is important to understand the …

Finding green energy resources that contribute to the battle against global warming and the
pollution of our planet is an urgent challenge. Thermoelectric electricity production is a clean …

Simultaneous improvement of strength and conductivity is urgently demanded but
challenging for bimetallic materials. Here we show by creating a self-assembled lamellar …

Although isolated nonhexagonal carbon rings in graphene are associated with strain
relaxation and curvature, dense and ordered arrangements of four‐, five‐, and eight …

Microstructure control is crucial for thermoelectrics since it is intimately related to the
scattering mechanism of both electrons and phonons. Herein, we propose a new strategy to …

The lattice thermal conductivity (κ) of a newly synthesized two-dimensional (2D) MoSi2N4
family and its associated abnormality are anatomized by ab initio phonon Boltzmann …

Strain inevitably exists in practical GaN-based devices due to the mismatch of lattice
structure and thermal expansion brought by heteroepitaxial growth and band engineering …

The ternary ceramic MAX and recently emerging MAB phases have exhibited a combination
of properties of metals and ceramics, excellent mechanical properties along with high …
