Science can be difficult to explain to the public. In fact, any subfield of science can be difficult to explain to another ...

A research team has successfully achieved an atomically controlled insulator-to-metal transition in iridate/manganate ...

Scientists from MIT have modeled an elusive superconductor using a much larger stand-in. By shaping atoms with lasers and ...

Experiment has now proved the existence of the predicted three-dimensional 'topological insulator' in the semiconducting alloy Bi 1−x Sb x. One of the triumphs of quantum mechanics in the ...

Mott insulators are a unique class of materials that defy conventional band theories of solids. Though they are expected to conduct electricity, they exhibit insulating properties, particularly at low ...

Having two zippers that meet rather than one that goes from one full side to the other is also super convenient.” ...

Researchers have developed a new "sandwich" structure material that exhibits the quantum anomalous Hall effect, enabling ...

LE ROY — Lapp Insulator Company in Le Roy has been a leading manufacturer of high voltage insulators for more than 100 years. The company was founded in 1916 by John Lapp, who had worked with ...

Above this voltage and up to about 132 kV system voltage 'line post' insulators may be used or, more usually, from 40 kV to the highest transmission system voltages the 'cap and pin' insulator is used ...

A research team has successfully achieved an atomically controlled insulator-to-metal transition in iridate/manganate heterostructures. Their findings were recently published in Nature Communications.
