Most polymers -- materials made of long, chain-like molecules -- are very good insulators for both heat and electricity. But scientists have now found a way to transform the most widely used ...

This increased heat also leads to the temperature rise of insulating materials, which gradually causes the loss of dielectric performance. To address this, researchers report a new strategy to achieve ...

Diamond is an effective electrical insulator, but that might not always be the case according to a new study from MIT and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. The team has calculated ...

Charles Kane is considered a 'founding father' in the field of topological insulators — materials that conduct electricity on ...

Researchers show that a type of modified titania, or titanium dioxide, holds promise as an electrical insulator for superconducting magnets, allowing heat to dissipate while preserving the ...

Porcelain insulators have long been integral to electrical power systems, valued for their high dielectric strength, durability and reliability under challenging environmental conditions.

RIKEN physicists have created the first thin films featuring a special combination of electrical and topological properties.

The world of physics is being redefined with the creation of an extraordinary material that challenges the established laws ...

The Global Electric Insulator Market Size was Valued at USD 13.2 Billion in 2023 and the Worldwide Electric Insulator Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 22.4 Billion by 2033, according to a ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...
