«It has high electrical resistance so that things don't short out when it's used as a circuitry substrate, and it has extraordinarily high thermal conductivity, much better than silver or gold,» says Ferren. (discovermagazine.com)
Artificial diamonds can be grown on various surfaces to increase the hardness and reduce the wear of tools, or to take advantage of diamond's high thermal conductivity as a heat sink for electronics. (sciencedaily.com)
«Our combination of high thermal conductivity and elasticity is especially critical for rapid heat dissipation in applications such as wearable computing and soft robotics, which require mechanical compliance and stretchable functionality,» said Majidi, an associate professor of mechanical engineering.
