Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

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

A scientific team has managed to stack 41 layers of semiconductors, multiplying the density of the circuits by six, without ...

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why ...

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

Design transforms heat into electrical energy via thermionic electron emission.

George W. Bush made hydrogen his baby back in the early 2000's, but this alternative fuel could still have its day in the sun ...
