A river erodes its course. In an electric circuit, does the wiring get eroded by the current, atoms, electrons etc? — Bill "It's a reasonable analogy to think of an electric current acting like a flow ...

A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...
