Physicists found a bizarre quantum state in graphene where electrons flow like a liquid and defy basic conduction rules ...

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 ...

Carbon nanotubes are one technology that many observers believe hasn't quite lived up to the extreme hype that surrounded ...

A multi-institutional research team has engineered a way to preserve the electrical properties of materials as they are shrunk to the nanoscale. The use of the soft substrate hexagonal boron nitride ...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by high porosity and structural versatility. They have enormous potential, for example, for applications in electronics. However, their low electrical ...

Defying conventional scientific knowledge about electrical conductivity, the addition of a common carbon compound to copper to make electrical wires results in significant performance enhancements, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Coastal salinity is an increasing challenge in low-lying agricultural landscapes. Saltwater inundation (SWI) from tidal flooding can create obvious dead zones along field edges, but these visible ...
