A new ion superhighway modeled after human cells could speed our batteries way up. Digging out a nanochannel for charged ions turned a “rat’s nest” into a superfast conductor. These materials were ...

Many may wonder why some conductors wave their arms enthusiastically while others barely move. Interviews with conductors and orchestra musicians reveal that today's conductors must increasingly ...

Solid electrolytes with high lithium-ion conductivity can be designed for millimeter-thick battery electrodes by increasing the complexity of their composite superionic crystals, report researchers ...

A new self-healing polymer that is highly suitable for use as a flexible conductor in wearable devices and robots has been created by RIKEN chemists. Electrical conductors used in conventional ...
