There are better heat conductors but they aren't practical materials for producing computer heatsinks: silver exceeds copper's thermal conductivity at 429W/mK (hence Arctic Silver thermal paste ...

The filament in this lightbulb is a conductor. Some materials let electricity pass through them easily. These materials are known as electrical conductors. Metal is used in plugs to allow ...

Saucepan handles are made from plastic because plastic is a poor conductor of heat, so you won’t get burned when you touch the handle. Natural materials, such as wool and wood, come from living ...

"Better materials could help us spend less energy in small wires and more energy actually doing computation." Many researchers have been working to find better conductors for nanoscale electronics ...

Materials for energy and catalysis are materials with electrochemical properties that makes them suitable for use in energy storage applications, such as batteries, and electrocatalysts. Copper is ...

Scientists have developed a hybrid material that switches between conducting and insulating states while maintaining ...
