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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have created a new carbon-based electrical device, π-ion gel transistors (PIGTs) by using an ionic gel made of a conductive polymer. This work may lead to ...
