A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

Electronic devices lose energy as heat due to the movement of electrons. Now, a breakthrough in nanoengineering has produced ...

If you want an electrical current to flow around a normal metal ring you have to supply enough energy to overcome the metal’s resistance – right? Not always, according to physicists in the US and ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

A Prototype switch built in nanoscopic level can increase efficiency of electronics devices by reducing the heat it generates ...

On a quest to discover new states of matter, a team of scientists has found that electrons on the surface of specific materials act like miniature superheroes, relentlessly dodging the cliff-like ...

The study is published in the journal ACS Nano. University of Michigan engineers have created a new nanostructure that can guide and stop excitons at room temperature. Excitons are quantum ...

In graphene, electrons move in strange ways. Their unusual and fluid-like behavior was observed by scientists at the National Graphene Institute, leading to a new wave of studies related to the ...

On a quest to discover new states of matter, a team of Princeton University scientists has found that electrons on the surface of specific materials act like miniature superheroes, relentlessly ...

Time to retire the old soldering iron? In the “atomtronic” circuits pictured on the right, it is atoms, not electrons, that flow. Such circuits could form the basis for ultra-sensitive gyroscopes.

A small crystal of the new material. (Courtesy: Fazel Tafti, Boston College) A team of researchers in the US has discovered that electrons in a transition metal superconductor called ditetrelide flow ...
