A research team consisting of NIMS and University of Tokyo researchers developed a calculation method for identifying optimal nanostructures to either maximize or minimize the thermal resistance of target materials. This method reduced the amount of calculation by more than 90% compared to conventional methods. The team also succeeded in designing novel, non-intuitive nanostructures.
