Researchers at St. Petersburg University have developed an efficient way to detect a crucial immunity biomarker—neopterin—in the blood using nanotechnology and a laser. Neopterin is a nucleotide whose ...
Heat in solids is typically carried by quasi-particles called phonons, which generally behave like particles that scatter as they move through a crystal lattice.
The material exhibits an exceptionally low lattice thermal conductivity of ~0.18 W/m·K, placing it among the lowest known for crystalline solids.
