Researchers have discovered a metallic material with the highest thermal conductivity measured among metals. This challenges long-standing assumptions about the limits of heat transport in metallic materials. The research team from UCLA Samueli School of Engineering reported that metallic theta-phase tantalum nitride conducts heat nearly three times more efficiently than copper or silver, the best conventional heat-conducting metals.
