The factors that contribute to the uncertainty of battery life in a standby or stationary application are worsening as power networks try to handle new data and communication demands. Even in ...

Researchers demonstrate high electrical conductance for an antiaromatic nickel complex -- an order of magnitude higher than for a similar aromatic complex. Since the conductance is also tunable by ...

Since the breakthrough discovery of the Majorana particle in 2012 in Delft, researchers faced great challenges. The group of professor Leo Kouwenhoven at QuTech and Microsoft collaborated with ...

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. In a collaborative investigation performed by an experimental team ...

Carbynes, or long linear carbon chains (LLCCs), have received significant attention in recent years due to their predicted exceptional properties. However, experimentally, their properties have been ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University have recently developed nanometer-scale molecular wires with periodic twists. Their study was ...

The American Petroleum Institute has new guidelines for testing shaker screen conductance under static conditions. The first article in this series provided a practical guide to shaker screen ...
