conductors

Looking only at their subatomic particles, most materials can be placed into one of two categories. Metals -- like copper and iron -- have free-flowing electrons that allow them to conduct electricity, while insulators -- like glass and…

Solid electrolytes with high lithium-ion conductivity can be designed for millimeter-thick battery electrodes by increasing the complexity of their composite superionic crystals, report researchers from Tokyo Tech. This new design rule…

<!-- -->The machine is not capable of listening or improvising in real-timeA two-armed android robot, EveR 6, took the stage to conduct the orchestra in Seoul. The debutant managed to wow the audience with a flawless performance in…

Just as electrons flow through an electrical conductor, magnetic excitations can travel through certain materials. Such excitations, known in physics as "magnons" in analogy to the electron, could transport information much more easily than…

Stable and high oxide-ion conductors based on a new hexagonal perovskite-related oxide has been reported by scientists at Tokyo Tech, Kojundo Chemical Laboratory Co. Ltd. and Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in…
