A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These ...

Scientists in the US have identified nearly 63,000 promising materials that could advance solid-state ...

(Nanowerk News) Classical robots, such as those used for manufacturing, can lift heavy loads and repeat automated processes precisely. But they are too rigid and bulky for delicate work and ...

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...

The field of organic conductors and superconducting materials has evolved around π-conjugated molecules arranged into low-dimensional stacks or layers, where strong electron correlations, lattice ...

Researchers at TUM and TUMint.Energy Research have taken a significant step towards improving solid-state batteries. They developed a new material made of lithium, antimony and scandium that conducts ...

Superionic conductors are solids in which one species of ion achieves mobilities comparable to those in liquid electrolytes, resulting in exceptionally high ionic conductivity while maintaining a ...

The production of green hydrogen requires new materials to make the process sustainable and cost-effective. Green hydrogen, ...
