The electrical resistance of a metal is caused by electrons being scattered from impurities in the material’s atomic lattice or from lattice vibrations called phonons. However, it is not affected by ...

Electrons in graphene just broke their own sound barrier. Scientists created a controllable electronic shockwave inside a ...

A new type of switch sends electrons propagating in opposite directions along the same paths – without ever colliding with each other. The switch works by controlling the presence of so-called ...

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have directly measured the fluid-like flow of electrons in graphene at nanometer resolution for the first time. The results appear in the journal ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

What if the battery and EV worlds have been barking up the wrong forest? What if, instead of forever seeking new battery chemistries and better materials for anodes and cathodes to improve energy ...
