Honey-like heat flow: A new heat transport regime discovered in ultrathin semiconductors

Controlling heat flow is a major challenge for many technologies. In electronic and photonic devices, for example, heat dissipation can limit the performance and efficiency, as well as their potential for further miniaturization.

AI Summary

An international research team led by ICN2, UAB, TU/e and McGill has identified a new heat‑transport regime in ultrathin two‑dimensional semiconductors. In molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and molybdenum diselenide (MoSe₂), heat moves via hydro‑thermoelastic transport, a mode in which thermal diffusion is strongly suppressed. This discovery highlights the difficulty of predicting and controlling thermal behavior in 2D materials that are being considered for future electronic and photonic devices. The findings were reported in a 2026 Physics paper (doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03297-1).
