Graphene is often described as a wonder material. It is strong, electrically conductive, thermally efficient, and remarkably ...

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a ...

Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

Georgia Tech scientists have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic devices work through precise control over the flow of electricity. While typical materials act as either conductors or insulators, the ability to switch between these ...

Researchers have minimized thermal conductivity by designing, fabricating, and evaluating the optimal nanostructure-multilayer materials through materials informatics (MI), which combines machine ...

A collaborative research team, led by the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new inorganic material with the lowest thermal conductivity ever reported. This discovery paves the way for the ...

Chemists have developed a new charge-carrying molecule that possesses liquid-like conductivity even in the solid state ( ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Making electronic devices smaller requires components that work reliably at tiny scales. While engineers have successfully miniaturized many electronic parts, they face a ...

Scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have developed an insulation material that is about three times less conductive than the performance of typical high-voltage direct current ...
