A material that is transparent at room temperature and can turn from insulator to conductor with a little bit of heat seems to be the stuff of science fiction, but it’s very real and it’s called ...
A multilayer graphene-based tape conducts heat quickly while insulating electricity, offering a thin and flexible solution ...
A team of UC Riverside engineers has discovered why a key solid-state battery material stays remarkably cool during operation ...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), cylindrical nanostructures made of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, have proved to be ...
In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic ...
Scientists with the University of Chicago have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The research, published Oct. 26 in ...
We've found the first metal that can conduct electricity with hardly any heat at room temperature, breaking a long-standing rule of materials science. We don't know whether it's good for anything, but ...
