Like a Hot Knife Through Butter ...with a New Twist |
| My son-in-law, Matt, showed me this video demonstrating the incredible thermal conduction property of graphene. A miracle material for seemingly every other realm of physics, thermo-conductive pyrolytic graphite (TCPG) conducts heat with twice the efficiency of diamond, and 6x the efficiency of copper and silver. Because of the extreme thermal conductivity, the heat from the guy's fingers is enough to slowly force the graphene sheet through the ice cube. In the future, the colloquial saying for expressing how easily a material is cut might change from "like a hot knife through butter" to "like a body-temperature graphene sheet through an ice cube."

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The Internet was still largely an unknown entity at the time and not much was available in the form of WYSIWYG ... All trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other rights of ownership to images and text used on the RF Cafe website are hereby acknowledged. My Hobby Website: AirplanesAndRockets.com
