A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

For years, scientists have known that phonons (vibrations of atoms) carry heat through solids. However, when two different materials come in contact, like in a computer chip, these vibrations often ...

Electricity doesn’t flow the way most people imagine. Instead of electrons rushing through wires like water in a pipe, energy moves as an electromagnetic field surrounding the wire. The real current ...
