An international team of researchers, including members from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), has developed a machine learning-based approach to predict the thermal properties of materials. This understanding could help improve energy efficiency in power generation systems and microelectronics.
The research focuses on phonons - subatomic particles that carry heat. Properties of these particles affect…
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, mainly exists alongside other elements. However, the discovery of naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen is increasingly attracting attention as an unlimited source of carbon-free energy. In fact, the US Department of Energy recently awarded $20 million in research grants to 18 teams to…
