Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...

Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way. When most people ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has made a significant breakthrough in overcoming one of the most persistent challenges ...

The film explains the concept of electrons and their role in electric circuits. It describes how electric current is the flow of electric charges, primarily electrons, which cannot be seen but can be ...

NYU’s Center for Quantum Information Physics co-led a study that manipulated germanium, a mineral used in computer chips, to ...

In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...

Can electricity behave like water? For the first time, "electron whirlpools" have been discovered by MIT researchers. According to News Atlas, when electricity moves as a fluid, strange behavior ...

An international team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Lancaster University, and the University of Waterloo have developed a new single-molecule ...

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and suggesting a low-energy route to faster electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
