Now, the outside of electric wires are usually covered in plastic because it’s a very poor conductor. It hardly conducts any electricity at all, so we can say it’s an electrical insulator.

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 opens up a whole new perspective on technologically highly interesting classes of materials and shows us that there is more to materials science between electrical conductors and ...

"It's the first time that we as physicists understand microscopically why the specific type of Mott insulator that we looked at has never been turned into a conductor," said Brown physics ...
