Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science’s Department of Physics, together with researchers from Japan's National ...

If you want an electrical current to flow around a normal metal ring you have to supply enough energy to overcome the metal’s resistance – right? Not always, according to physicists in the US and ...

Spin electronics, or “spintronics” promises to revolutionize computing. We’ve covered numerous breakthroughs in the field including controlling the spin of electrons, manipulating single electrons ...

Physicists report new insights into the behavior of electrons on the surface of a topological insulator, a class of material with unique properties that challenge some of the oldest laws of physics.

In their simulations of 2D semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, the researchers found that when treating both the charge and heat carriers as part of the same system, the ...

Since electrons are so small and one electron will not have much of an effect anywhere, it is more useful to refer to packages of electrons. One coulomb of charge is a package equivalent to ...
