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

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...

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

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

The video describes melting processes of an electron Wigner crystal into electron liquid phases. As the electron density (\nu, a measure of number of electrons in a magnetic field, is controlled by ...

A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the motion of electrons flows in the same way water flows in a pipe—fundamentally changing from particle-like to ...

If the conditions are just right, some of the electrons inside a material will arrange themselves into a tidy honeycomb pattern — like a solid within a solid. Physicists have now directly imaged these ...

Spintronics is an emerging field that leverages the spin, or the intrinsic angular momentum, of electrons. By harnessing this ...

Resistive random access memory (ReRAM), which is based on oxide materials, is gaining attention as a next-generation memory ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

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 ...
