A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct ...

A stretchy, conductive type of plastic could help power the next generation of implantable biomedical devices, like longer-lasting pacemakers or glucose monitors, according to Enrique Gomez, professor ...

Hollow graphene aerogel fibers mimicking polar bear hair achieve record-low thermal conductivity and high electrical ...

In a recent study at UVA, a group of researchers has discovered the process of how soil-living bacteria can conduct electricity. This particular discovery can pave the way for miniaturizing electronic ...

After years of skepticism, science has once again proven itself right: soil bacteria can conduct electricity. And researchers at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst even went a step ...

Electrical resistivity (also called specific electrical resistance or volume resistivity) is a fundamental property of a material that measures how strongly it resists electric current. Its inverse, ...

A new species of bacteria that functions like electrical wiring has recently been discovered on a brackish beach in Oregon. The species was named Candidatus Electrothrix yaqonensis in honor of the ...
