THAT SOUNDS USEFUL: Physicists Have Identified a Metal That Conducts Electricity But Not Heat.
Researchers have identified a metal that conducts electricity without conducting heat – an incredibly useful property that defies our current understanding of how conductors work. The metal, found in 2017, contradicts something called the Wiedemann-Franz Law, which basically states that good conductors of electricity will also be proportionally good conductors of heat, which is why things … Read more
