Smooth and dense SiHfBCN ceramic coating via the PDC approach was fabricated successfully and the performance was systematically studied. The composition shows interesting microstructural evolution ...

The study of electric field behaviour in composite materials addresses the complex interplay between varied constituent phases and the interfaces that separate them. In these systems, the conductivity ...

The two main types of boron nitride used in industry are hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and cubic boron nitride (c-BN). h-BN, particularly in its 2D form, is a stable material with electrical ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Electronic devices work through precise control over the flow of electricity. While typical materials act as either conductors or insulators, the ability to switch between these ...

Conductive and photoconductive atomic force microscopy are variations of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Conductive AFM simply measures the electrical conductivity of materials while photoconductive ...

Georgia Tech scientists have discovered a new quantum state in a quirky material. In a phenomenon never before seen in anything else, the team found that applying a magnetic field increased the ...

A single strand of newly developed fiber has the flexibility of cotton and the electric conductivity of the polymer, polyaniline. The new material has shown good potential for wearable e-textiles. The ...

A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities scientists and engineers discovered a new method for tuning the thermal conductivity of materials to control heat flow ”on the fly.” Their tuning ...

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...

The global electrical insulation materials market revenue was around US$ 11.0 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach US$ 19.7 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6 ...

Among high-frequency laminates, Rogers Corporation materials are widely regarded as industry benchmarks. Three laminates in particular—RO4350B, RO4003C, and RO3003—are frequently selected for RF, ...
