Damn, I just ordered an upgraded radiator for my PC cooling system. I wonder when this new metal will be in our cars and our PCs for cooling?

does this mean it conducts heat one direction and charge another direction?

The limitation of the heat exchanger is defined by the diffusivity of the fluids, not the barrier.

Why would electrical conductivity get in the way of heat exchangers? Copper works pretty well, even though it does conduct electricity.
The bronze merely has high ratio of thermal to electrical conductivity. It doesn’t necessarily have a very high thermal conductivity.

It would have to be something other than bronze to be used in nuclear power plants. Copper alloys are verboten now, and even a lot of fossil plants are getting rid of copper alloys as the copper tends to leach out and foul steam generators and boiler tubes.

This needs to be outlawed immediately because it might be worse than cow farts in contributing somehow to global warming

it breaks the Wiedemann-Franz Law. So... is that just a misdemeanor, or are they going to have to do jail time?
To: Red Badger
They shouldn't have been allowed to do this, as it violated the current scientific consensus.

Witchraft and heresy! Purple bronze is an abomination. Actually, this could turn out to be a very important discovery. Thanks for posting.

For the past 150-plus years, the Wiedemann-Franz law has proved to be remarkably robust, the ratio varying at most by around 50 per cent amongst the thousands of metallic systems studied. Fifty percent wiggle room isn't much of a law.
