Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets have exceptionally high hydroxyl ion (OH^-) conductivity (as high as 10^-1 S/cm), report investigators. This OH^- conductivity ...

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 ...

Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum. The result, published in ...

As electrons whiz around the nanosized circuits inside computer chips, they generate a lot of heat. And that waste heat creates a major headache for the electronics industry. It shortens the lifespan ...
