University of Chicago scientists have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. This could be very important as the ...

Scientists working with an experimental class of materials have made a breakthrough that could shape a new generation of electronic devices. The researchers’ creation is likened to a conductive ...

Self-healing is an increasingly common ability in the world of new materials, with a wide range of gels and polymers potentially lending their talents to electronic circuits, paints and even spaceship ...

Article 310 contains the general requirements for conductors, such as insulation markings, ampacity ratings, and conditions of use. It doesn’t apply to conductors ...

In early February, Chris Wright — the new US Secretary of Energy — issued his first order focused on the US Department of Energy and America's power grids. His priorities entail strengthening the ...

This research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special quantum material transitions from an electrical insulator to an electricity-conducting metal. Below a critical temperature, the subject ...
