Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison directly measured, for the first time at nanometer resolution, the fluid-like flow of electrons in graphene. The results, which will appear in the ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

Researchers show hafnium stannide can host graphene-like electron flow in a robust 3D structure, paving the way for scalable ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss ...

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 ...

A heatmap of electron location in graphene shows that at the lower temperature (left panel), the electrons are more likely to bump into impurities (circles), with relatively fewer making it through ...

(NewsNation) — Physicists at MIT have found a way to observe electrons in some exotic materials that appear to flow without resistance. The discovery could lead to the invention of superefficient ...

A new electrical method to conveniently change the direction of electron flow in some quantum materials could have implications for the development of next-generation electronic devices and quantum ...

In a quiet corner of low-temperature physics, researchers have stumbled on a phase of matter that seems to break one of the ...

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 ...
