Being energy one of the main problems we have to face as a society and considering the amount of computation we are demanding, this new research happens to be particularly important. A multinational effort that includes Spain, Italy and the USA is unvealing the mechanisms of heat transport at the nanoscale. And they’ve found a new process that involves an wavy nature. In particular they’ve reported the observation of phonon interference at room temperature in molecular-scale junctions [link].
Their results have been published in Nature Materials.
