Rice University scientists have created a nano-infused oil that could greatly enhance the ability of devices as large as electrical transformers and as small as microelectronic components to shed excess heat. The discovery could raise the efficiency of such transformer oils by as much as 80 percent in a way that is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Researchers discovered that a very tiny amount of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) particles, two-dimensional cousins to...
