For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

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

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, ...

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 ...
