Using artificial materials to patch or rebuild damaged parts has been tried but only recently has work focused on the electrical properties needed for proper cardiac operation. In this week's APL ...

Ordinarily, if you want to build a device that's highly electrically conductive, you have to use rigid metals. Now, however, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have created a soft and flexible ...

Use of electrically conductive gaskets with ENIG plated circuit boards has prompted questions from design and application engineers about corrosion that may occur when these gaskets come into contact ...

Researchers have long sought electrically conductive materials for economical energy-storage devices. Two-dimensional (2D) ceramics called MXenes are contenders. Unlike most 2D ceramics, MXenes have ...

Thanks to advances in materials and electronics, we are starting to see how our clothing might one day do more than keep us warm or protect us from the elements. Scientists at Chalmers University of ...

Organic field effect transistors (OFETs) are the building blocks of organic circuitry, and research in this field is still in its infancy, but rapidly expanding. Development is taking place in several ...

Although an electrically conductive diamond film can be used for coatings on the Jarvik heart (above), the supplier also seeks to advance MEMS-based in vivo devices. The value of diamond is on the ...

For grounded systems, noncurrent-carrying conductive materials enclosing electrical conductors or equipment, or forming part of such equipment, shall be connected together and to the _____ to ...

Sometimes science advances at a snail's pace, but in this case that's a good thing: researchers have created a squishy material that combines polymers with liquid metal, demonstrated in a snail-like ...
