Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that a peculiar compound seems to act as a conductor and an insulator at the same time. It could be the first in a completely new class of ...

Topological insulators are materials that are electrical insulators in the bulk but can conduct electricity on their surface via special surface electronic states. Using just a couple of diagrams on a ...

Conductor turned insulator amid disorder Study analyzes how disorder in the way atoms are connected in a material influences electric conductivity ...

Researchers have discovered a material that can switch between an insulator and a conductor freely, even at room temperature. The material, a compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2), starts off ...

Led by FLEET at Monash University, a new study, published this week in Nature Communications, has demonstrated a Mott insulating phase within an atomically-thin metal-organic framework (MOF), and ...

Covered conductor is not intended for permanent contact with grounded objects, since it will eventually cause covering damage and lead to system failure. In general, system construction requires ...

Some materials that are inherently disordered display unusual conductivity, sometimes behaving like insulators and sometimes like conductors. Physicists have now analysed the conductivity in a ...
