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 ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

A semiconductor is a material with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (like copper) and an insulator (like glass). Unlike conductors, which allow electricity to flow freely, and ...

The need to integrate renewable energy resources, and prepare for increased demand for power as electrification takes hold in transportation and other sectors, creates challenges for an aging grid.

Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

Solids can be categorised into conductors, semiconductors or insulators by their ability to conduct electricity. Electron band theory explains differences in conduction. Semiconductors can be doped ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...
