A stretchy, conductive type of plastic could help power the next generation of implantable biomedical devices, like longer-lasting pacemakers or glucose monitors, according to Enrique Gomez, professor ...
Scientists have discovered a new way to make a soft, stretchy plastic that can carry electricity efficiently—an advance that could help improve devices implanted in the human body, such as pacemakers, ...
Among the enduring challenges of storing energy—for wind or solar farms, or backup storage for the energy grid or data ...
A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, University of Michigan researchers have discovered—upending assumptions that the material class is exclusively insulating. "The material opens ...
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 ...
We've found the first metal that can conduct electricity with hardly any heat at room temperature, breaking a long-standing rule of materials science. We don't know whether it's good for anything, but ...
