In fact, the speed is so slow that electrons in an AC circuit hardly move at all since they just pace back and forth a very small amount on each half cycle.

No current should flow in this circuit, you’d think, because the pieces of foil can’t touch each other–and without contact, there’s nothing but an insulator to flow across, and electricity doesn’t ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science’s Department of Physics, together with researchers from Japan's National ...

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 ...
