Learn what are conductors and insulators with these interactive learning resources for KS2 Science students aged 7-11 from BBC Bitesize.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have found that a peculiar compound seems to act as a conductor and an insulator at the same time. It could be the first in a completely new class of ...

Covered conductor is not intended for permanent contact with grounded objects, since it will eventually cause covering damage and lead to system failure. In general, system construction requires ...

Conductors, semiconductors and insulators are differentiated by their band gap, which essentially measures how much energy electrons need to move freely through the material.
