A new light-based probe allows scientists to explore electrical currents in environments previously beyond reach.

A material that is transparent at room temperature and can turn from insulator to conductor with a little bit of heat seems to be the stuff of science fiction, but it’s very real and it’s called ...

Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of ...

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 ...

A group of researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and MIT in the US, among others, has discovered something interesting about diamonds. The team has discovered that diamond ...

California’s Silicon Valley and Utah’s Silicon Slopes are named for the element most associated with semiconductors, the backbone of the computer revolution. Anything computerized or electronic ...

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 newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, researchers have discovered -- upending assumptions that the material class is exclusively insulating. A newly discovered silicone variant is a ...

According to reports that continue to appear in trade publications, combined cycle power generation will, for some time, remain an important bridge technology between declining coal-fired power and ...

Seebeck coefficient against electric conductivity measurements of RR and RRa-P3HT doped with iodine and measured while dedoping. We took Rd= 0.21 nm to match the radius of iodide anion ( R I = 0.206 ...
