Porcelain insulators have long been integral to electrical power systems, valued for their high dielectric strength, durability and reliability under challenging environmental conditions. Their ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

Typically, nanometer-scale electrical characterization is done by AFM-based conductivity measurements. Conductive AFM (CAFM) for high current ranges and tunnelling AFM (TUNA) for lower current range ...

A research group at The University of Tokyo has discovered a new principle by which helical chiral molecules acquire spin through molecular vibrations, enabling them to adhere to magnets. Until now, ...

When thoughts turn to the modernization and decarbonization of our transportation infrastructure, one imagines it to be dominated by exotic materials. EV motors and wind turbine generators need ...
