Electrochemical devices such as fuel cells are becoming indispensable for new power generation technologies because they can efficiently produce renewable energy. Ceramic proton conductors can be used ...

Functional materials based on metals, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, composites, etc. have provided solutions for societal problems and have led to the development of new technologies for ...

They finally found what they were looking for in a very specific form of tantalum nitride -- no other known metallic material has a higher thermal conductivity. In order to be able to identify this ...

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are promising alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries. ASSBs consist of solid-fast-ion-conducting electrolytes and electrodes that offer improved energy ...

Researchers have developed a novel two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) that has 10- to 15-times higher conductivity than the parent MOF that lacks such efficient ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

Thermal insulation is not only important for buildings, but also in quantum technologies. While insulation panels around a house keep the heat inside, quantum devices require insulation against heat ...

What would it take to instantly transform a material from an electrical insulator into a conductive state without ever ...
