Insulators could be converted into thermal conductors by an exotic surface effect, and power electronics might one day run cooler as a result. “In the last several years, theoretical papers have predicted the ability of surface phonon polaritons to increase thermal conduction in nano-materials made from polar materials like silicon dioxide,” said Georgia Institute of ...
