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 ...

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 ...

An electric current is a flow of charged particles. A source of energy, such as a cell or battery, is required to make the free electrons move in one direction. Electrons are negatively charged ...

The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a significant departure from our conventional understanding of physics. This ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Japan discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due ...

A few weeks ago, we looked at a video showing water “solving” a maze. [AlphaPhoenix] saw the same video, and it made him think about electrons “finding the path of least resistance.” So can you solve ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...
