A study, led by Tingting Zuo, was based on the idea of in-situ growth, and a series of Cu/Gr composites with improved interfaces were prepared by vacuum hot press sintering. Combined with cold-drawing ...

Defying conventional scientific knowledge about electrical conductivity, the addition of a common carbon compound to copper to make electrical wires results in significant performance enhancements, ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded in a gallium–indium alloy, allowing ...

The natural world possesses its own intrinsic electrical grid composed of a global web of tiny bacteria-generated nanowires in the soil and oceans that “breathe” by exhaling excess electrons. In a new ...

A new species of bacteria that functions like electrical wiring has recently been discovered on a brackish beach in Oregon. The species was named Candidatus Electrothrix yaqonensis in honor of the ...

Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new class of lightweight, highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) wiring that does away with copper and aluminum ...
