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 ...

Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...

In graphene, electrons move in strange ways. Their unusual and fluid-like behavior was observed by scientists at the National Graphene Institute, leading to a new wave of studies related to the ...

A new type of switch sends electrons propagating in opposite directions along the same paths – without ever colliding with each other. The switch works by controlling the presence of so-called ...

Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

A NASA-funded rocket mission is headed to space to measure the global electric circuit underlying the northern lights. For its second trip to space, the Aurora Current and Electrodynamics Structures ...

Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

A small crystal of the new material. (Courtesy: Fazel Tafti, Boston College) A team of researchers in the US has discovered that electrons in a transition metal superconductor called ditetrelide flow ...
