Working under Division Boss William Hewitt Phillips, whom Kraft credits as the man most responsible for his development as an aeronautical engineer and flight-test conductor, his first project was ...

From insulator to conductor in a flash Date: April 16, 2018 Source: Forschungsverbund Berlin Summary: A clever combination of novel technologies enables us to study promising materials for the ...

A material that’s a terrible heat conductor could make a superb insulator, and materials like it could play a key role in bringing the world to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. University of ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered a rare rubidium (Rb)-containing oxide-ion conductor, Rb₅BiMo₄O₁₆ ...

A jelly found in sharks and skates, which helps them sense electric fields, is a strong proton conductor.

The most powerful proton conductor in the natural world is a weird, jelly-like substance that lives inside a shark's head. That's according to a study published Friday in the journal Science ...

Free teacher resources for Primary Science. Mwaksy Mudenda and Greg Foot create circuits using spoons and dough, to learn about conductors and insulators, why they’re useful and how they keep us ...

A U.S. research team says it has made a discovery that might allow creation of the most powerful superconducting magnet in the world.

Organic conductors and semiconductors have attracted interest because they can potentially be manufactured largely out of abundant elements like nitrogen and carbon, and provide flexible electronics.

An ionic conductor contains positive and negative charges — otherwise known as charged ions — that move freely when they come into contact with a voltage.
