Cool a metal close to absolute zero and its electrical resistance can vanish entirely
When Heike Kamerlingh Onnes cooled mercury to a few degrees above absolute zero in 1911, its electrical resistance dropped ...

Scientists shatter 30-year superconductivity record with zero-resistance material that works at normal pressure
"Our method shows that it is possible to retain that state without maintaining pressure." ...
The LCNO (TM) battery, the lithium-ion rechargeable battery newly developed by SEL, has successfully improved its fire resistance without compromising the high energy density characteristic of lithium ...
A new nanophotonic material has broken records for high-temperature stability, potentially ushering in more efficient electricity production and opening a variety of new possibilities in the control ...
Chemists discovered a new way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material. Working with polyacrylate elastomers, they could increase the materials' resistance to tearing ...
From the outside, firefighter response gear doesn't look terribly high-tech. The coats, pants, gloves and boots don’t differ much from regular versions of the same items. But the makeup of this ...
Corrosion becomes an inevitable problem when structures come into immediate contact with water and other chemicals, e.g., in water parks and swimming pools. It includes repeatedly accessed places such ...
Radiation-resistant, tough space materials are therefore a necessity for missions that go beyond our safe atmosphere. Modern spacecraft, space stations, and deep-space probes use such materials ...
