The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a ...

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

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

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?

Engineers at the University of Michigan have created a breakthrough device that can control the flow of excitons—tiny bundles ...

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 ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

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 ...
