The phenomenon represents a milestone in the emerging field of ‘atomtronics’, which seeks to create a whole new class of devices that use the flow of atoms, rather than electrons, in a circuit.

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 ...

In their simulations of 2D semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, the researchers found that when treating both the charge and heat carriers as part of the same system, the ...

Princeton Professor Ali Yazdani has led a team that has found electrons acting in unusual ways on the surfaces of specific materials. The work represents the first time such behavior of electrons has ...

A river erodes its course. In an electric circuit, does the wiring get eroded by the current, atoms, electrons etc? — Bill "It's a reasonable analogy to think of an electric current acting like ...

Potential difference in parallel circuits Since energy has to be conserved, the energy transferred around the circuit by the electrons is the same whichever path the electrons follow.

Unusual electrons go with the flow Date: July 19, 2010 Source: Princeton University Summary: On a quest to discover new states of matter, a team of scientists has found that electrons on the ...

Electrons can behave like a viscous liquid as they travel through a conducting material, producing a spatial pattern that resembles water flowing through a pipe. So say researchers in Israel and the ...

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 ...
