Printed metal conductors may be next-generation electronic displays $1m grant from DOE funds Pitt researcher and electroninks project using metal ink for OLEDs ...

According to researchers at the University of Cambridge, electrons are largely stuck in one place in an insulator, whereas in a conductor they flow freely.But their findings of the behaviour of the ...

The rise of generative AI and electric vehicles are contributing to a strong showing from silver investments. Here's how to ...

Most metals are just very good conductors of heat. So when you go outside on a 10-below day and grab a piece of metal with your bare hand, heat is rapidly conducted from your hand into the metal.

Polymers are generally put to work as insulators, but a team of researchers at MIT has devised a way to turn polyethylene -- the most commonly used polymer -- into a conductor that transfers heat ...

Electrical current flows easily through a conductor, but does not flow through an insulator. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.
