A new review in Polymer Bulletin maps how metal, metal oxide, and metal complex fillers integrated into polymer composites ...

Researchers in Turkey have developed rhyolitic tuff geopolymer tiles reinforced with carbon fibers and zinc oxide that ...

Electric motors and electronic devices generate electromagnetic fields that sometimes have to be shielded in order not to affect neighboring electronic components or the transmission of signals.

Containing the electromagnetic radiation generated by electronic components is a key consideration for designers of electronic devices, but today’s metal-based shielding materials have their downsides ...

In electrical engineering, electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials.

The electron shell of atoms acts as an "electromagnetic shield," preventing direct access to the nucleus and its properties. A team in the group of Klaus Blaum, director at the Max Planck Institute ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Device miniaturization and a consequent increase in the heat and electromagnetic (EM) wave emission in the electronic systems make the simultaneous heat management and ...

Electromagnetic interference can be a serious problem for electronic devices, so shielding is usually placed around components. Now, engineers at Drexel University have found that a 2D material called ...

Water has no special power. A single sticker has no power to stop electromagnetic waves. However, the door of a microwave ...

NASA wants to use active system to shelter crews from lower-energy cosmic radiation NASA physicists are seeking funds to explore the use of electrostatic fields to protect astronauts from radiation on ...
