New Material Conducts Electricity Like Metal But Is Not

November 1, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of Chicago scientists have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. This could be very important as the breakthrough could point the way to a new class of materials in the polymer field for electronics and other devices. The […]

Improvement Found To Increase Electricity From Wasted Heat

October 27, 2021 | Leave a Comment

Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT) scientists demonstrated that breaking open the trade-off problem between thermopower and conductivity improves thermoelectric performance. Energy consumption in developed countries has been rather wasteful. Nearly two-thirds of the total energy is typically discarded as “waste heat,” which ends up simply dumped into the atmosphere. Lately, finding a way to productively […]
