Heat breaks the rules at the nanoscale and scientists used it to their advantage Tiny gold-engineered structures let scientists dramatically boost and control heat flow, potentially transforming everything from computer chips to energy systems. Date: June 8, 2026 Source: College of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University Summary: Scientists used nanoscale gold metamaterials to supercharge heat transfer across tiny gaps, achieving up to four times more energy flow than similar conventional systems. The breakthrough could lead to better chip cooling, more efficient energy technologies, and a new era of precision heat engineering.
