Modern portable and wearable electronic devices increasingly integrate high-performance components and wireless communication technologies. While this integration enhances functionality, it also ...

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 ...

CUSAT's UV technology reduces electrical conductivity in coir pith by 27.4%, enhancing its export potential and ...

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, ...

Some of the most revealing signals about human health are carried in fluids that are almost impossible to measure.

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 ...

An international team of researchers has developed a breakthrough method for producing MXenes—an important family of two-dimensional materials—with unprecedented purity and control. The new ...

Aramid fiber is known as "super fiber" or "golden silk" because even though its weight is equivalent to only 20% of the weight of steel, it is more than five times as strong and does not burn, even at ...

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 ...

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 ...
