A new, promising cooling material is developed based on theoretical work by BC physicist David Broido and colleagues

In 2013, a group of scientists theorized that a unique compound could offer thermal conductivity to rival that of diamond, known as the best material for conducting heat. The theory, developed by David Broido, a profesor of physics at Boston College, and collaborators Tom Reinecke of the Naval Research Lab and Lucas Lindsay Ph.D. ’10 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, showed significant promise.
