An ultrathin coating for electronics looked like a miracle insulator − but a hidden leak fooled researchers for over a decade
An ultrathin coating for electronics looked like a miracle insulator − but a hidden leak fooled researchers for over a decade Researchers have been working on creating ultra-thin insulating layers for electronics, which are crucial for storing charge and controlling electricity flow. The goal was to make these dielectric layers as thin as possible while […]

New materials, old physics – the science behind how your winter jacket keeps you warm
New materials, old physics – the science behind how your winter jacket keeps you warm Modern winter jackets use a combination of physics principles, including conduction, convection, and radiation, to keep you warm while remaining breathable. The development of new materials, such as extremely thin synthetic fibers and breathable membranes, has given designers more control […]
