A European team led by UNIGE demonstrates the quantum metric in a topological insulator with unusual conductivity. Akin to an ...

This research sheds light on the mechanism behind how a special quantum material transitions from an electrical insulator to an electricity-conducting metal. Below a critical temperature, the subject ...

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 ...

In a carefully controlled environment, physicists have managed to stabilize a rare and previously short-lived phase of matter by using a simple method of rapid heating and cooling. This breakthrough ...

Designing effective insulation relies on three interrelated parameters: clearance, creepage, and dielectric strength. Understanding these factors is crucial for engineering high-voltage or ...

Silicone rubber insulators have become the predominant choice for high-voltage transmission systems owing to their excellent hydrophobicity, lightweight construction and resistance to environmental ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...
