Scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have developed an insulation material that is about three times less conductive than the performance of typical high-voltage direct current ...

The study of electric field behaviour in composite materials addresses the complex interplay between varied constituent phases and the interfaces that separate them. In these systems, the conductivity ...

The global electrical insulation materials market revenue was around US$ 11.0 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 19.7 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Polymers are ideal for energy storage for transportation due to their light weight, scalability, low-cost manufacturing, and high dielectric strength. Dielectrics are materials ...

The Foundation Of Advanced Materials Science Materials Shaping Modern Society It’s pretty wild when you stop and ...

To tune the band gap, a key parameter in controlling the electrical conductivity and optical properties of semiconductors, researchers typically engineer alloys, a process in which two or more ...

Feng's team from Tsinghua University has reported an innovative study on optimizing the thermoelectric performance of SnSe via liquid phase sintering.

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 way to electrically modify the chirality of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, in which chiral molecules adsorb onto inorganic surfaces, has been demonstrated by researchers at Science Tokyo. By ...

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 ...
