Conferences, Congresses and Activities

NMHT 2026

Miguel Muñoz Rojo and Elvira Tornero attended the NMHT (Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer) conference held in Berlin from April 20 to 24. On this occasion, Elvira Tornero presented at the conference with the paper titled “Out-of-plane thermal conductivity of Ti₃C₂Tx MXene flakes depending on temperature and thickness.” 

2025 EUROPEAN RESEARCHERS’ NIGHT 

Held on September 26, 2025, at Espacio Fundación Telefónica (Madrid), this activity features an experiment demonstrating how thermal conductivity varies between different metals. Five metal rods—typically copper, aluminum, brass, iron, and zinc—are arranged in a fan shape on a heat-resistant ceramic plate. A small, equal amount of petroleum jelly is applied to one end of each rod, and a thumbtack is gently placed on top. A Bunsen burner is then used to heat the opposite ends of the rods. As heat travels along each rod, it melts the petroleum jelly; once fully melted, the thumbtack falls off. The time taken for each pin to fall is recorded and compared across all rods. This simple setup provides a clear visual and quantitative illustration of how different materials conduct heat at different rates, helping participants understand thermal conductivity through direct observation and linking it to real-world applications such as cookware design and heat management in electronic devices.
