Thermal insulation is installed on almost every piping system and much of the plant equipment at power generation facilities. It not only saves energy, but also protects workers, reduces noise, helps ...

Researchers show that a modified crystalline nitride can suppress heat flow to near-amorphous levels, offering a new route to durable thermal insulation. (Nanowerk News) Discovering materials that ...

Thermal insulation is an important feature when developing or maintaining hot-oil systems. However, sufficient insulation in such systems comes with certain advantages and disadvantages. Even if ...

Introduction What do you do when it gets very cold in winter? You probably turn your heater on, put on an extra layer of clothes or cuddle under a warm blanket. But have you ever thought about why a ...

The porous (Ta0.2Nb0.2Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2)C high-entropy ceramic possesses interconnected microspheres, abundant interface in the microspheres, and the severe lattice distortion of the high-entropy ...

In a recent article in Advanced Functional Materials, researchers explored the growing shift from traditional bulk insulation materials to advanced porous structures made from micro and nanofibers.
