In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, electronic materials are the foundation of countless devices and systems that power our daily lives. From smartphones and laptops to advanced ...

Topological insulators are strange stuff – the bulk of this material is insulating and cannot carry an electrical current, yet the surfaces of the same material are conducting. This means that charged ...

A presenter-led science video showing an experiment that tests the thermal conductivity of different insulating materials, with Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Dr Alex Lathbridge.

This is because good electrical conductors are usually ... that with further development MXene-based thermal insulation can exceed all known materials." Other applications for the material could ...
