A recent study1 by Dr. Fabian Garmroudi and a team of international researchers opens the door for one of the most ...

A groundbreaking study led by researchers from Southeast University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the University of Hong Kong, and the University ...

Topological insulators are materials that are insulating in their interior but can support the flow of electrons on their surface. The underlying cause is time-reversal symmetry: their physics is ...

Scientists have found a clever way to double the efficiency of thermoelectric materials — those that convert heat into ...

Researchers have highlighted that good thermoelectric materials are those that conduct electricity well on the one hand, but ...

An international team has succeeded in producing new, efficient thermoelectric materials that could compete with state-of-the-art materials, offering greater stability and lower cost.

Turning heat into electricity might sound like science fiction, but thermoelectric materials can do exactly that. These ...

Thermoelectric materials enable the direct conversion of heat into electrical energy. This makes them particularly attractive ...

Scientists at EPFL have made a breakthrough in designing arrays of resonators, the basic components that power quantum ...

A long-elusive, hypothetical subatomic particle called the axion can be simulated and potentially detected in a type of thin material.

Abstract: Accurate localization and classification of defects in insulator images captured by UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are critical for the maintenance of high-voltage power transmission grids.

such as a metal outside and an insulator inside. Such materials were discovered in the second half of the 20th century and are called topological materials. Some of their discoverers won the Nobel ...
