Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Researchers have discovered a metal that fails to comply with the Wiedemann-Franz Law, the rule that suggests good conductors of electricity will also be good conductors of thermal energy.
Metallic vanadium dioxide easily carries an electric current, but fails to conduct heat as expected.
