Better component packaging and power grid performance is the aim of a search for thermally-conductive electrically-insulating materials at the University of Texas at Austin. “The key problem we’ve identified, is that improving thermal conductivity alone is not good enough,” said Austin thermal fluids researcher Vaibhav Bahadur. “You need a more holistic understanding of materials to ...
