Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets have exceptionally high hydroxyl ion (OH^-) conductivity (as high as 10^-1 S/cm), report investigators. This OH^- conductivity ...

Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading to a steep decrease in ionic conductivity. Now, scientists have synthesized ...

Spanish researchers have demonstrated a scalable manufacturing process for carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers with electrical conductivity comparable to that of copper and aluminum. The result, published in ...

As electrons whiz around the nanosized circuits inside computer chips, they generate a lot of heat. And that waste heat creates a major headache for the electronics industry. It shortens the lifespan ...

Canada’s graphene sector is transitioning from academic promise to commercial reality, driven by advances in scalable ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...
