Singapore Airlines Flight 319’s Fight to Land New evidence suggests Russian forces shot down Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 ...

Scientists at Indian Institute of Science (IISc.), in collaboration with scientists from Japan, Denmark and the United States, have developed a synthetic material design that enables them to ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Looking only at their subatomic particles, most materials can be placed into one of two categories. Metals — like copper and iron — have free-flowing electrons that allow them to ...

Transmission lines icing is destructive to the operation of the power grid. There is a lack of methods to monitor overhead transmission line conductors and insulators for icing load simultaneously. In ...

Electric power fittings are the link between conductors and transmission towers, and it is essential to improve their ability to withstand damage. To obtain the actual load of electric power fittings ...

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 ...

Magnetic graphene, or iron trithiohypophosphate (FePS 3), is from a family of materials known as van der Waals materials, and was first synthesised in the 1960s. In the past decade however, ...

For their study, the Cambridge researchers squashed layers of FePS 3 together under high pressure (about 10 Gigapascals), they found that it switched between an insulator and conductor, a phenomenon ...

If a material is a good conductor of electricity, it is usually metallic, and if it is not, it is then known as an insulator. In the case of magnetite, temperature can change whether the material is a ...
