Diffusion and hydrodynamic flow There are two main types of energy transport that underlie the researchers' concept: hydrodynamic flow, a collective kinetic process where the individual components of ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

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 ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

In a collaborative effort, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and Japan's National Institute for Materials Science have captured an elusive fluid state in graphene. The study was published ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings ...

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 ...
