Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...

(Nanowerk News) Quantum mechanics can seem a bit confounding, so for a quantum material to be called “strange” is really saying something. A Cornell-led collaboration has used state-of-the-art ...

Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum ...

New research from Princeton University demonstrates the bizarre movement of electrons through a novel material called a Weyl semi-metal. The image shows a schematic of the connections at special ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

(Nanowerk News) Breakthroughs in modern microelectronics depend on understanding and manipulating the movement of electrons in metal. Reducing the thickness of metal sheets to the order of nanometers ...

A weird phenomenon in which electricity flows like water was spotted in a nanowire made of "strange metal" — a bizarre metal phase that has stumped physicists for 40 years. When you purchase through ...

Local researchers have tracked the movements of single electrons for the first time in the annals of science, creating a new tool to poke, prod and probe the tiniest of nature's particles. If ...
