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 ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits ...

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, ...

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Caltech have finally solved a decades-old mystery about how ...

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 this, the fundamental limitation is solid electrode’s ability to undergo electron transfer reactions with the solvated ...

MIT researchers have created a model that shows how lithium moves in batteries and why it affects charging speed and power.

When light hits the surface of some materials, namely those exhibiting a property known as photoresistance, it can induce changes in their electrical conductivity. Graphene is among these materials, ...

Brain lesions beset with smoldering inflammation, and myeloid cells around their edges, define multiple sclerosis. This might be due, in part, to the flipping of electron flow within microglia, ...

Agricultural runoff, wastewater, and fossil fuel burning can increase environmental nitrogen, promoting toxic algal blooms and depleting oxygen in waterways. One approach to managing this on a large ...
