Electric sparks are used for welding, powering electronics, killing germs or for igniting the fuel in some car engines. Despite their usefulness, they are hard to control in open space, they split ...

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 ...

This led to the synthesis of n-PBDF, a transparent conducting polymer that can serve both as a conductor and ion-storage material. "This polymer serves dual roles as a transparent conductor and ...
