Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance. Obviously, this has ...

Researchers have discovered the means by which a polymer known as PVDF enables capacitors to store and release large amounts of energy quickly. Their findings could lead to much more powerful and ...

Capacitor effect for magnetic monopoles in spin ice. The application of a magnetic potential adds new magnetic monopoles to a crystal of spin ice which then spring apart and store magnetricity.

To test this, the team created “ice capacitors”—thin slabs of pure ice sandwiched ... That means they could hold a stable electric polarization that flips when an external electric field is applied, ...

Antony Ingram March 21, 2012 Comment Now! Drivers of hybrid and electric vehicles will be used to the feel of regenerative braking. As you brake, or even lift off the accelerator pedal in some ...

Electric vehicles used to be notorious for their slow speeds and acceleration, but that's not the case these days. With the likes of the Tesla Model S P90D and its "Ludicrous Mode," many modern EVs ...

Jonny Smith's Flux Capacitor is one of the quirkiest (but most interesting) electric vehicles on the road today. Smith, a British automotive journalist, took an old Enfield 8000 electric city car ...

So you could bid on this converted-to-electric Delorean like everyone else or you could use the Buy-It-Now option, which will get you – wait for it – a free Flux Capacitor. The current bidding is at ...

Table 1 Composition and molecular weight of the studied polystyrene-b-polyisoprene copolymers. Full size table Figure 1: Illustration of the effect of an electric field on the lamellar distance of a ...
