When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, ...

If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet α-EuP 3: ...

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, ...

Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of ...

Brain lesions beset with smoldering inflammation, and myeloid cells around their edges, define multiple sclerosis. This might be due, in part, to the flipping of electron flow within microglia, ...

Electrons flow underground in ways far more extensive than once believed, forming networks that link distant chemical zones.

A bright flash of light from a FuZE (Fusion Z-pinch Experiment) plasma. Credit: Zap Energy In the nine decades since humans first produced fusion reactions, only a few fusion technologies have ...

Agricultural runoff, wastewater, and fossil fuel burning can increase environmental nitrogen, promoting toxic algal blooms and depleting oxygen in waterways. One approach to managing this on a large ...
