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 ...

Anisotropy in action: artistic visualization of a propagating heat wave getting weaker as it approaches the top of the layered material, while spreading out in other directions. (Courtesy: ...

Modern technologies continue to become lighter, smaller, and faster, although the conductors used to power these technologies remain relatively unchanged. Conventional metal conductors, largely copper ...

A study, led by Tingting Zuo, was based on the idea of in-situ growth, and a series of Cu/Gr composites with improved interfaces were prepared by vacuum hot press sintering. Combined with cold-drawing ...

The value indicated by the meter when measuring low conductivity samples such as pure water, semiconductor cleaning water, boiler water, tap water, groundwater, river water, or rainwater, is generally ...

The quest to maximize electric vehicle efficiency — in driving and charging — and to lower the risk of fires has engineers at automakers and elsewhere looking at everything under the hood, including ...
