To create efficient energy storage solutions and actuators, engineers need materials with a high dielectric constant. The dielectric constant is essentially the ratio of a substance's permittivity ...

When water gets inside nanopores with sizes below 10 nanometers, new physics emerge: new phases of ice were observed and ultrafast proton transport was measured. Confined water also plays a role in ...

Water is one of the most studied substances on Earth, owing to its unique properties and ubiquity, yet it never ceases to surprise scientists by defying expectations. Writing in Nature, Wang et al. 1 ...

When water is squeezed to just a few molecular layers, it displays remarkable electrical properties, behaving more like advanced ferroelectric materials. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at The University ...

Liquid cooling is quickly becoming a widely accepted option for keeping high-density IT gear within its optimal operating temperature. And so the growing adoption of direct-to-chip (which can use ...
