Conventional theory predicts that ultrahigh lattice thermal conductivity can only occur in crystals composed of strongly bonded light elements, and it is limited by anharmonic three-phonon processes. We report experimental evidence departs from these long-held criteria. measured a local room-temperature exceeding 1000 watts per meter-kelvin an average bulk value reaching 900 boron arsenide (BAs) crystals, where arsenic are heavy respectively.

Materials with high thermal conductivity (κ) are of technological importance and fundamental interest. We grew cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystals controlled abundance isotopes measured κ greater than 1600 watts per meter-kelvin at room temperature in samples enriched 10B or 11B. In comparison, we found that the isotope enhancement is considerably lower for phosphide arsenide as identical isotopic mass disorder becomes increasingly invisible to phonons.

Wavelike thermal transport in solids, referred to as second sound, is an exotic phenomenon previously limited a handful of materials at low temperatures. The rare occurrence this effect restricted its scientific and practical importance. We directly observed sound graphite temperatures above 100 kelvins by using time-resolved optical measurements on the micrometer-length scale.

Abstract Radiative cooling is a zero‐energy technology that enables subambient by emitting heat into outer space (≈3K) via the atmospheric transparent windows. However, existing designs predominantly focus only on primary window (8–13 µm) and neglect another (16–25 µm), underutilizing their potential. Moreover, widely utilized organic radiative metamaterials face significant challenges, including oxidation, degradation, delamination, which ultimately reduce operational lifespan. In this...
