If you are an EE you definitely know the answer to this, or at least you think you do. If you said positive to negative, you are wrong. Then you remember that current flow is a charge of electrons ...

A team of researchers has developed a theory to explain how hydrodynamic electron flow could occur in 3D materials and observed it for the first time using a new imaging technique. Electrons flow ...

Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...

Scientist have found they can turn on and off the flow of current in a bismuth crystal subjected to a high magnetic field, making a new type of controllable quantum wire. Princeton researchers have ...

If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet α-EuP 3: ...

The fluid-like movement of electrons in graphene was directly observed by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the first time at a nanometer resolution. The findings have the ...

Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long ...
