University of Chicago scientists have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. This could be very important as the ...

Self-healing is an increasingly common ability in the world of new materials, with a wide range of gels and polymers potentially lending their talents to electronic circuits, paints and even spaceship ...

Article 310 contains the general requirements for conductors, such as insulation markings, ampacity ratings, and conditions of use. It doesn’t apply to conductors ...

This research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special quantum material transitions from an electrical insulator to an electricity-conducting metal. Below a critical temperature, the subject ...

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 ...

Ions on the move: This image represents the lithium ions (in blue) moving through the structure. (Courtesy: University of Liverpool) Researchers at the University of Liverpool, UK have developed a new ...

The performance of an object that has been dependent upon whether the object is composed of a conductive or a nonconductive material. Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow freely from ...
