OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, Feb. 23 (TNSjou) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Warming a crystal of the mineral fresnoite, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists discovered that excitations called phasons carried heat three times farther and faster than phonons, the excitations that usually carry heat through a material.
"Neutrons were ideal for exploring these sources of heat transport because they . . .
