Scientists have discovered that applying an electric field to certain ceramics can dramatically redirect how heat moves through them.

New research from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in collaboration with The Ohio State University and Amphenol Corporation, challenges conventional understanding about ...

Some of the most revealing signals about human health are carried in fluids that are almost impossible to measure. Tears, ...

A team of scientists from the University of Antwerp (Belgium), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and the University of Hasselt (Belgium) have reported on bacteria that power themselves ...

A group of scientists has created a quantum material where electricity can flow without losing energy as heat. Until now, this was only seen in ...

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 ...

The natural world possesses its own intrinsic electrical grid composed of a global web of tiny bacteria-generated nanowires in the soil and oceans that “breathe” by exhaling excess electrons. In a new ...

Bacteria can carry electrical currents and can use electricity for power. An international team of scientists has now found that bacteria can act like power lines, and send electrical currents over ...
