Transparent electrodes transmit light while conducting electricity and are increasingly important in bioelectronic and ...

Researchers have developed an innovative methodology for measuring the electrical conductivity of microbial communities. This methodology holds promise for the development of batteries and ...

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct ...

Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

A study, led by Tingting Zuo, was based on the idea of in-situ growth, and a series of Cu/Gr composites with improved interfaces were prepared by vacuum hot press sintering. Combined with cold-drawing ...

The natural world possesses its own intrinsic electrical grid composed of a global web of tiny bacteria-generated nanowires in the soil and oceans that “breathe” by exhaling excess electrons. In a new ...

Ions influence conductivity and mobility in molecular liquid crystals, affecting electrical behavior, stability, and performance in both established and emerging technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) The ...

A single strand of fiber created at Washington State University possesses the electrical conductivity of a polymer called polyaniline and the flexibility of cotton. Washington State University textile ...

The quest to maximize electric vehicle efficiency — in driving and charging — and to lower the risk of fires has engineers at automakers and elsewhere looking at everything under the hood, including ...
