Reversible temperature regulation of electrical and thermal conductivity using liquid–solid phase transitions

Reversible temperature tuning of electrical and thermal conductivities of materials is of interest for many applications, including seasonal regulation of building temperature, thermal storage and sensors. Here we introduce a general strategy to achieve large contrasts in electrical and thermal cond...
