Researchers led by Cornell have discovered an unusual phenomenon in a metal-insulating material, providing valuable insights for the design of materials with new properties by way of faster switching ...

Speaker one Have you ever wondered how your take-away hot drinks stay hot? Or how some take-away cups are less effective? Let’s look at thermal insulation! Speaker two Yeah, all right. Now, thermal ...

From echoing hallways and idling buses to boisterous band practices and shop classes, schools have long been known as noisy environments. Beyond the sounds produced by occupants and vehicles, ...

Physicists at CU Boulder have designed a new material for insulating windows that could improve the energy efficiency of buildings worldwide—and it works a bit like a high-tech version of Bubble Wrap.

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...

Research reveals variability in mold susceptibility of bio-based insulation, highlighting the need for rigorous testing and ...

Abram Fluckiger holds up a sample panel square that has five sandwiched layers of a new material nearly transparent insulation material called MOCHI, which was designed buy CU Boulder researchers in ...
