Science Daily June 7, 2021 Based on foundational theory a team of researchers in the US (Iowa State University, University of Ohio, University of Chicago) engineered an alloy with the elements bismuth and antimony at precise ranges. In this material electrons move like massless photons, a phenomenon theoretically predicted to exist. Under the influence of an external magnetic field some of the electrons generate energy, while others absorb energy, effectively turning the material into an energy pump resulting in 300% increase in its thermal conductivity. The mechanism is turned off if the magnet is taken away. This property, and the […]
