For decades, thermal management has been a serious engineering hurdle in the design of electronic devices and circuits. A rapid reduction in transistor size has expanded the excess heat issue into the nanoscale, calling for the development of new materials for efficient heat dissipation. Now, building on recent theoretical predictions, Sang Kang and co-workers experimentally obtain a defect-free single-crystal boron arsenide (BAs) exhibiting a thermal conductivity on par with the best known heat conductors.
