Recent theoretical studies, however, had suggested that some metallic-like materials could break this record. θ-TaN, a metastable transition metal nitride, was among the most promising contenders, but ...
An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has discovered a metal that combines electrical conductivity with internal polarity. This enables it to exhibit second harmonic ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are characterized by high porosity and structural versatility. They have enormous potential, for example, for applications in electronics. However, their low electrical ...
Defying conventional scientific knowledge about electrical conductivity, the addition of a common carbon compound to copper to make electrical wires results in significant performance enhancements, ...
AI-guided synthesis yields a highly conductive MOF thin film, overcoming conductivity limits and unlocking new potential in electronics and energy storage. (Nanowerk News) Metal-organic frameworks ...
In a new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2021.200101 , the research groups of Professor Xuan-Ming Duan from Jinan University Guangzhou, China and Professor Mei-Ling Zheng ...
Japan’s Toray Industries Inc. has developed a thermal conductivity technology that raises the heat-dissipating properties of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) to that of metals. Applying this ...
Precious metals may seem unlikely as engineering materials, but the same expensive metals used for coinage and jewelry also satisfy applications requiring the ultimate in corrosion resistance or ...
