A team of researchers from the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University has made a major leap forward in heat management thanks to new cerium oxide-based thermal switches.

Whilst copper oxide and carbon dioxide are the product. The chemical substances which are made as a result of the chemical reaction. Thermal decomposition reactions are common in everyday life.

“We showed that boron particles with different impurities in the oxide shell have significantly different thermal behaviour,” says Pivkina. Now, reporting in the journal Combustion ...
