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

A collaborative European research team led by physicists from Slovak Academy of Sciences has theorized a new approach to ...

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

In a metal like copper, however, the outer electrons swim around freely and are shared by all the atoms. That’s why electricity can flow through a metal—if you apply an electric field, you get a flow ...

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 ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...

MIT researchers uncovered clear evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene.

Electricity feels instant, but its movement is a dance of charged particles, magnetic fields, and invisible forces. When a switch is flipped, electrons don’t race through the wire — energy does, ...

Industry analysts estimate that U.S. data center power demand will double over the next five years. By 2030, global data centers could consume as much electricity as the entire nation of Japan. That ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons pair up, rather than scattering apart as they do in normal conductors or in everyday ...
