Strong yet Releasable: Mimicking Gecko Toes for a Dry-Adhesive TIM with On-Demand Stickiness
The gecko’s ability to climb walls stems from millions of microscopic hairs on its toes that exploit van der Waals forces. […]

In the quest for thinner, more efficient heat spreaders, a remarkable class of quantum materials offers a tantalizing solution: topological insulators
Imagine a Thermal Interface Material that can be a solid in place, yet liquefy and move to a new location
When heat fluxes push beyond the limits of conduction—even with diamond composites—the most effective solution is phase change: boiling a
What if a Thermal Interface Material could sense a hotspot and physically tighten its own contact pressure at that exact
As semiconductor features shrink below 10nm, the “interface” in Thermal Interface Material (TIM) takes on a quantum mechanical dimension. At
In aerospace, every gram matters. Traditional metal heat spreaders and ceramic-filled TIMs add significant mass. Enter graphene aerogels: porous, ultra-lightweight solids
For power modules operating above 200°C, solder-based TIMs creep and melt, and polymer-based materials degrade. The solution is a joint
Imagine a Thermal Interface Material (TIM) that can act as a thermal insulator for certain heat “frequencies” while remaining conductive for
As computing pushes into the quantum realm, thermal management faces its most extreme challenge: operating at temperatures near absolute zero while managing
As electronics become soft, stretchable, and integrated with biological systems, rigid, solid TIMs reach their limit. The future for these
In the quest for energy autonomy in electronics, every wasted energy form is a potential resource. What if the mechanical
