Theoretical model explains how low thermal conductivity arises in crystals

Crystals that can freely conduct electrons, but not heat, hold great potential for numerous applications. A team of researchers has now developed a method for discovering and developing these materials. Their results are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
