The superconducting gap structure, especially the direction of the nodes, is an unresolved issue in most of unconventional superconductors. Recently it has been demonstrated that the thermal conductivity \kappa is a powerful tool for probing the nodal structure. Here measuring \kappa in H rotating within the basal plane, we discuss the nodal structure of the unconventional superconductors, spin-triplet Sr2RuO4, heavy fermion CeCoIn5, organic \kappa -(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2, and borocarbide YNi2B2C.
