An international team of researchers has developed a breakthrough method for producing MXenes—an important family of ...

The operators of a new combined-cycle plant being run in two-shift mode (on 16 hours, off 8) had become used to the cation conductivity sample of the condensate pump discharge being in alarm for a ...

Figure 1: Electrical conductivity of hydrous carbonated basalts, hydrated basalts and hydrous olivine. Figure 2: Effect of incipient melt on the electrical conductivity of depleted and enriched ...

Innovative co-doping strategy overcomes long-standing limits in proton conduction, opening a new way for efficient hydrogen-to-electricity conversion.

Most materials have an inherent capacity to handle heat. Plastic, for instance, is typically a poor thermal conductor, whereas materials like marble move heat more efficiently. If you were to place ...

Conductivity and resistivity are widely used parameters for water purity analysis, monitoring of reverse osmosis, cleaning procedures, control of chemical processes and in industrial wastewater.

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered ...
