The speed at which heat moves between two materials touching each other is a potent indicator of how strongly they are bonded to each other, according to a new study. Additionally, the study shows that this flow of heat from one material to another, in this case one solid and one liquid, can be dramatically altered by "painting" a thin atomic layer between materials.
