Grab a coffee and your car is fully charged—this is how many people envision the future of mobility. But today's batteries ...

A new silicon material switches from insulator to metal in picoseconds. This breakthrough could speed up future computers.

Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials (ISEM) has addressed a 40-year-old quantum puzzle, unlocking a new ...

The test, which was held in Jakarta, is supposed to prove the safety of its hybrid vehicles, especially in a tropical climate.

The epoxy insulators in dc gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) tend to accumulate surface charges, which causes insulation flashover. Increasing the surface conductivity of epoxy resin, which can ...

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, ...

The Arc'teryx Atom Insulated Hoody is on sale in the Soulsonic colorway for $240. Shoppers say it packs well and is "great" for high-altitude summer adventures.

2-D Materials Atom-thin iodine film makes its debut Iodinene is the first halogen analog of graphene and is expected to be unusually metallic by Mark Peplow, special to C&EN ...

We proposed a nanoplasmonic optical filtering technique based on complementary split-ring resonator structures. Interestingly, the proper plasmonic modes of the nanoring in the side-coupled ...

Hexagons of hexagonal boron nitride join up to form two-dimensional insulator for next-generation electronic devices.
