Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

Like all metals, silver, copper, and gold are conductors. Electrons flow across them, carrying heat and electricity. While gold is a good conductor under any conditions, some materials have the ...

Physicists found bizarre metal-like behavior in an insulator at extreme magnetic fields, revealing quantum oscillations deep ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

An international team of researchers has investigated an unusual finding of quantum oscillations, a phenomenon in which electrons behave like springs within a magnetic field, occurring in the ...
