Scientists have developed a hybrid material that switches between conducting and insulating states while maintaining ...

Reduce energy consumption and improve comfort with the best window insulation kit. We tested top kits and review their ...

There are many electric vehicles in Norway, and each contains many electrical conductors. These electrical conductors ...

The conductor-crawling robot has been designed to work with a variety of EPRI-developed radio-frequency sensors that can be placed along transmission lines to provide real-time assessment of ...

On the periodic table, semiconductors (also known as metalloids) crop up along a diagonal line between conductors and insulators. Noble gases such as helium and neon are poor conductors of ...

Most materials are either metals or insulators — they either conduct electricity well or they do not. But many unusual and technologically relevant materials lie between these extremes.

A kind of umbilical cord between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this "umbilical cord" is generic to many materials.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — We've had quite the mild season so far this winter, in temperatures and when it comes to snowfall. Aside from the recent temperature swings, the lack of snowfall may have ...

But this week, researchers described a lithium-sulfur battery that still has over 80 percent of its original capacity after 25,000 charge/discharge cycles. All it took was a solid electrolyte that was ...
