Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Physicists have directly measured, for the first time at nanometer resolution, the fluid-like flow of electrons in graphene. The results have applications in developing new, low-resistance materials, ...

Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the motion of electrons flows in the same way water flows in a pipe—fundamentally changing from particle-like to ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...

(NewsNation) — Physicists at MIT have found a way to observe electrons in some exotic materials that appear to flow without resistance. The discovery could lead to the invention of superefficient ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...
