University of Cambridge researchers have discovered that a material already known for its peculiar electrical properties appears to behave as both a conductor and an insulator at the same time. This ...

MADISON, WI—University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have made a material that can transition from an electricity-transmitting metal to a nonconducting insulating material without changing its ...

Motorola has characterised a new insulator material that could replace silicon dioxide as a gate dielectric in deep sub-micron MOSFET devices. As device geometries shrink, extreme demands are being ...

(Nanowerk News) Most materials show one function, for example, a material can be a metal, a semiconductor, or an insulator. Metals such as copper are used as conducting wires with only low resistance ...

Researchers have demonstrated an unusual method of putting the brakes on superconductivity, the ability of a material to conduct an electrical current with zero resistance. The research shows that ...

Researchers have made a material that can transition from an electricity-transmitting metal to a nonconducting insulating material without changing its atomic structure. University of ...
