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, ...

Which way does electricity flow through a vehicle’s electrical system? From positive to negative, or from negative to positive? Depending on your viewpoint, it can flow either way. When most people ...

Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...

A twist you'll never see coming: a breakthrough in understanding the relationship between chirality and electric flow at a microscopic level may help us develop chiral information technology.

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 ...
