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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Within the past five years, Northwestern Engineering’s Jonathan Rivnay has noticed a surge in the development of new organic mixed conductors — polymer materials that can transport both electrons and ...
