While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was strong enough to produce Josephson junction-like synchronization between it ...

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, ...

If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet α-EuP 3: ...

Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens.Their superconductivity — a property driven ...

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

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and suggesting a low-energy route to faster electronics. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A river made of graphene with the electrons flowing like water. Courtesy: Ryan Allen and Peter Allen, Second Bay Studios Electrons can behave like a viscous liquid as they travel through a conducting ...

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

The fluid-like movement of electrons in graphene was directly observed by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the first time at a nanometer resolution. The findings have the ...

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 ...

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 ...
