Electrical current flows easily through a conductor, but does not flow through an insulator. Find out more with BBC Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.

Watching the Reaction Live "Many chemical processes use catalysts in the form of tiny nanoparticles," says Prof. Günther Rupprechter from the Institute of Materials Chemistry at TU Wien.

At ETH Zurich researchers have observed a new state of matter: in graphene layers twisted relative to each other, two electrical conductors team up to form an insulator. 09.09.2021 by Oliver Morsch ...

Researchers have discovered a material that can switch between an insulator and a conductor freely, even at room temperature. The material, a compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2), starts off ...

Some materials that are inherently disordered display unusual conductivity, sometimes behaving like insulators and sometimes like conductors. Physicists have now analysed the conductivity in a ...

Scientists experimentally verify the existence of exotic surface conduction states in topological semimetals (TSMs), materials that lie at the boundary between conductors and insulators, by ...
