Oct. 27 (UPI) --Scientists at the University of Chicago published a groundbreaking discovery Wednesday after finding a new material that can be produced similarly to plastic but is conductive more ...

University of Chicago boffins have discovered a way to create a material that can be made like a plastic, but conducts electricity more like a metal. The material is made of molecular fragments which ...

(THE CONVERSATION) – The modern world runs on electricity, and wires are what carry that electricity to every light, television, heating system, cellphone and computer on the planet. Unfortunately, on ...

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 ...

When we think of things that conduct electricity, we usually picture copper wires or high-tech circuits, not living organisms. But researchers have just discovered something that flips that assumption ...

Ca. Electrothrix yaqonensis—a cable bacteria discovered along the coast of Oregon—has the remarkable ability to conduct electricity. According to researchers, this bacteria “stands out from all other ...

Water confined in nanoscale channels has dramatically different electrical properties from bulk water, researchers at the University of Manchester have demonstrated. The differences, which include up ...
