A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

Nobel Prize winners showcase quantum tunnelling in macroscopic circuits, paving the way for quantum computing.

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

The electrical resistance of a metal is caused by electrons being scattered from impurities in the material’s atomic lattice or from lattice vibrations called phonons. However, it is not affected by ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study from the Weizmann Institute of Science in collaboration with Manchester University and UC Irvine shows that an electronic fluid can flow through materials without any ...

Researchers have experimentally caused electrons to bend in bilayer graphene with the use of light. The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage ...

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 ...

Many buildings that are powered by solar use it directly during the day when the sun is shining without there being any necessity for storing the power. In this case, any excess power that isn’t being ...

Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, but only recent ...
