Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

A new window-covering material called MOCHI that is almost completely transparent but blocks heat could significantly reduce ...

Researchers have discovered a way to make a versatile thermal conductor, with promise for more energy-efficient electronic devices, green buildings and space exploration. They have demonstrated that a ...

The need to integrate renewable energy resources, and prepare for increased demand for power as electrification takes hold in transportation and other sectors, creates challenges for an aging grid.

Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow with minimal resistance and are essential for transmitting power and electrical signals in electronic devices. Most metals are good ...

Mechanical engineering major Brendan Scott isn't taking the summer off with other University of Massachusetts Amherst students this year. But he says he's having a blast. NASA has granted him a $6,000 ...
