Fiberglass, made of extremely fine glass fibers, is often used for insulation. If disturbed, the fibers can pierce your skin, causing pain and a rash. While uncomfortable. this isn’t serious. Keep ...

Topological insulators are materials that are insulating in their interior but can support the flow of electrons on their surface. The underlying cause is time-reversal symmetry: their physics is ...

Abstract: Ester-based insulating oils exhibit high flash points and biodegradability. Their inferior lightning impulse breakdown voltage (LIBDV), however, hinders the development of high-voltage, ...

Abstract: Synthetic ester insulating oil emerges as an environmentally friendly substitute for mineral insulating oil. However, the intrinsic ester structure poses challenges to its oxidation ...
