We've found the first metal that can conduct electricity with hardly any heat at room temperature, breaking a long-standing rule of materials science. We don't know whether it's good for anything, but ...

In an apparent contradiction to textbook physics, a metal has been identified that conducts electricity but produces almost no heat in the process. Such a strange property may be expected to occur in ...

According to a new study led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, electrons in vanadium dioxide can conduct electricity without conducting heat. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) nanobeams ...

Scientists have added something new to a family of engineered, high-tech materials called metal-organic frameworks: the ability to conduct electricity. Conductive MOFs have the potential for use in a ...

Researchers have created a soft, stretchable device that converts movement into electricity and works in both dry and wet environments. Researchers at North Carolina State University have created a ...

The company says copper is the first of the valuable products recycled using its process. A modular, production-scale copper plating Aqualyzer, with the first plated battery metal, at Aqua Metals’ ...

In science, there exists a law known as the Wiedemann-Franz Law that states, simply, that most metals that are good conductors of electricity are also good conductors of heat. This law essentially ...

Metals are known as good conductors of both heat and electricity. Regardless of temperature or other factors, typical conductivity does not change. This property is known as the Wiedemann-Franz Law.

There's a known rule-breaker among materials, and a new discovery by an international team of scientists adds more evidence to back up the metal's nonconformist reputation. According to a new study ...
