DTU scientists show that once you account for geographical restraints, there are consistent patterns behind human mobility.
A research team from Aarhus University has measured and explained the exceptionally low thermal conductivity of the crystalline material AgGaGe₃Se₈. Despite its ordered structure, the material behaves like a glass in terms of heat transport – making it one of the least heat-conductive crystalline solids known to date. The reason? The silver atoms move erratically in the lattice and break down the thermal transport.
The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter mission has split the flood of energetic particles flung out into space from the Sun into two groups, tracing each back to a different kind of outburst from our star.
