«We demonstrate that other asymmetric materials, such as asymmetric nanowires, thin films, and quantum dots of a single material can also be high - performance thermal rectifiers, as long as you have lateral confinement,» Ruan said.

One reason it's tricky to make and hook up nanowires, made of single - crystal silicon, or nanotubes, made of molecule - thick sheets of carbon, is that they are fragile and can easily break when transported from one substrate to another.
