Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets have exceptionally high hydroxyl ion (OH^-) conductivity (as high as 10^-1 S/cm), report investigators. This OH^- conductivity ...

Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum. The result, published in ...

Understanding materials behaviour under extreme thermodynamic conditions is fundamental in many branches of science, including High-Energy-Density physics, fusion research, material and planetary ...

As electrons whiz around the nanosized circuits inside computer chips, they generate a lot of heat. And that waste heat creates a major headache for the electronics industry. It shortens the lifespan ...
