Physicists are learning more about the bizarre behavior of 'strange metals,' which operate outside the normal rules of electricity. Physicists are learning more about the bizarre behavior of "strange ...

Metallurgy explains how to predict the properties, behavior and internal structure of metal so that we can use it to its maximum capabilities. One of the most important properties of metal is its ...

A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

What are Metal Oxide Nanoparticles? Metal oxide nanoparticles are a class of nanomaterials composed of metal cations bonded to oxygen anions, with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers.

Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...

RICHLAND, Wash.—A common carbon compound is enabling remarkable performance enhancements when mixed in just the right proportion with copper to make electrical wires. It’s a phenomenon that defies ...
