"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, ...

HANOVER, N.H. – April 19, 2022 – Researchers at Dartmouth have built the world’s first superfluid circuit that uses pairs of ultracold electron-like atoms, according to a study published in Physical ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this ...

A new magnetic transistor switches current ten times more strongly than silicon chips while operating at lower energy, and ...

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: ...

In solar cells, solar radiation boosts electrons to higher energy states, thereby releasing them from their atomic bonds as electricity begins to flow. Scientists have now developed a novel method to ...

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 are an EE you definitely know the answer to this, or at least you think you do. If you said positive to negative, you are wrong. Then you remember that current flow is a charge of electrons ...

Key learning points Electrical charges What are free electrons? Cell polarity Conventional current direction Electrons orbit the nucleus. An atom has a neutral charge, because it contains the same ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A delicate balance of electrons flowing through the photosynthetic machinery is essential to a plant’s ability to turn sunlight into energy and its survival. Understanding the ...
