Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...

(Nanowerk News) Ohm’s law is well-known from physics class. It states that the resistance of a conductor and the voltage applied to it determine how much current will flow through the conductor. The ...

Graphene -- a one-atom-thick layer of carbon -- is a better conductor than copper and is very promising for electronic devices, but with one catch: Electrons that move through it can't be stopped.

Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to optimize electron transfer in semi-conductors used in solar fuel solutions. Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the University of North ...

Hot electrons: the scanning ultrafast electron microscope at the University of California, Santa Barbara. (Courtesy: Matt Perko/UCSB) By combining scanning electron microscopy with ultrashort laser ...

The components in a home audio/video system are pretty complicated to anyone without a good understanding of electronics; but wire–good, old-fashioned wire–is something we can all understand. It’s ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The influence of the acoustic vibrations of the lattice on the capture of free carriers by impurities is investigated theoretically. The bound ...

Metal feels colder than wood because it rapidly transfers heat away from your body due to its dense atomic structure and free ...
