A new experiment offers the cleanest proof yet for magnetism-driven transitions of metals to insulators. Like all metals, silver, copper, and gold are conductors. Electrons flow across them, carrying ...

Fran: You might be thinking that a conductor stands at the front of an orchestra waving their arms around, and they do. But we're talking about a different kind of conductor. A conductor of ...

Researchers have identified a material that behaves as a conductor and an insulator at the same time, challenging current understanding of how materials behave, and pointing to a new type of ...

University of Cambridge researchers have discovered that a material already known for its peculiar electrical properties appears to behave as both a conductor and an insulator at the same time. This ...

If we had to list our top parent-approved pastimes, backyard science experiments for kids are a hot contender for the #1 spot because kids have fun learning while soaking up a little vitamin D in the ...

A new study has discovered mysterious behaviour of a material that acts like an insulator in certain measurements, but simultaneously acts like a conductor in others. In an insulator, electrons are ...
