  2. Deep, chewy, rich, digestible. A cracking good job by #ScienceJournalist Zack Savitsky.

    ''But the implications go beyond just building better superconductors. A theory that explains strange metals may force a fundamental rethinking of how electricity works in all materials. It might subsume the standard theory the way general relativity, with its curved spacetime, subsumed Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity—and prove just as unsettling. Strange metals are forcing physicists to ask whether the very idea of an electron, or any particle for that matter, is an oversimplification of what’s really going on. “The violation of the standard theory of solids in these strange metals is so dramatic—it’s in your face,” says Qimiao Si, a physicist at Rice University who collaborates with Paschen. “There’s no question there’s new physics.”''

  6. #Materials with enhanced #thermal #conductivity are critical for the development of advanced devices to support applications in #communications, clean energy and #aerospace. But in order to #engineer materials with this property, scientists need to understand how #phonons, or #quantum units of the vibration of atoms, behave in a particular substance.

  8. A promising #material for #hydrogen #energy devices. The new material has high #proton #conductivity and unusual properties (depending on the degree of doping). It can be used as an #electrolyte (at high doping levels) and as an #electrode (at low doping levels) in solid oxide #fuel #cells and electrolyzers.

  9. An Ultra-Stable Protein Nanowire Made by Bacteria microbiologycommunity.nature.c

    Structure of #Geobacter cytochrome OmcZ identifies mechanism of nanowire assembly and conductivity nature.com/articles/s41564-022

    #Bacteria deep in the #soil need #nanowires made up of #cytochrome OmcZ to export electrons to extracellular acceptors in order to survive without oxygen. New research explains how bacteria make nanowires on demand and why only OmcZ nanowires show extremely high electron #conductivity.

  10. Scientists proposed the #infiltration method as a simple and affordable way to improve #electrochemical performance. Their method increased the #conductivity of this material, consequently improving the performance (increased power) of fuel cells.
