A team of researchers has developed a theory to explain how hydrodynamic electron flow could occur in 3D materials and observed it for the first time using a new imaging technique. Electrons flow ...

Graphene, an atom-thick sheet of carbon arranged in a honeycomb pattern, is an especially pure electrical conductor, making it an ideal material to study electron flow with very low resistance. Here, ...

"Its presence can be revealed by observing how electron trajectories are distorted under the combined influence of quantum metric and intense magnetic fields applied to solids," explains Giacomo Sala, ...

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

Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

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 ...

Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long ...

Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, but only recent ...
