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 ...

In this diagram the upper-left end of the platinum film (shown in light blue) is hotter than the lower-right end. This causes electrons to flow from hot to cold. The spin Nernst effect is shown as ...

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.

A solid material that conducts electricity perfectly at certain temperatures may also qualify as an almost perfectly flowing liquid. If the result is confirmed, the superconducting material would ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

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 ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, ...

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 ...
