Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

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 ...

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

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 ...

RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

Can electricity behave like water? For the first time, "electron whirlpools" have been discovered by MIT researchers. According to News Atlas, when electricity moves as a fluid, strange behavior ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a way to push zinc–bromine flow batteries to the next level. By trapping corrosive bromine with a ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale energy storage cheaper, safer, and far longer-lasting. Bromine-based flow batteries store and release energy through a chemical ...
