A new method by Penn State researchers conveniently changes the direction of electron flow in materials that exhibit the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect — a phenomenon in which the flow of ...

IISc and Caltech researchers uncover why photosynthesis uses only one electron path, solving a long-standing mystery.

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, ...

Scientist have found they can turn on and off the flow of current in a bismuth crystal subjected to a high magnetic field, making a new type of controllable quantum wire. Princeton researchers have ...

Electrons in graphene just broke their own sound barrier. Scientists created a controllable electronic shockwave inside a ...

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: ...

Is there a way to stick hard and soft materials together without any tape, glue or epoxy? A new study shows that applying a small voltage to certain objects forms chemical bonds that securely link the ...

In a recent Nature Communications article, researchers explored how strong electric fields influence electron behavior in graphene, uncovering nonequilibrium effects typically associated with ...
