This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic ...

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 ...

Light can generate an electrical current in semiconductor materials. This is how solar cells generate electricity from sunlight and how smart phone cameras can take photographs. To collect the ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny ...

This is the basic relationship among a nucleus and its orbiting electrons. Electron attraction to the nucleus is typically a function of proton concentration within the nucleus. The greater the number ...

How does an electrical signal propagate in a neuron? Traditional cable theory, which was refined by Goldman, Hodgkin and Katz 1,2, answered this question using a model that was based on the opening ...

In school, you might have learned that electrons were negatively charged and protons were positive. This is not a fact of nature but a human-invented convention. It’s a fact that protons and electrons ...

Electric shock drowning (ESD) is a regular topic in the press, in boating magazines, on various electrical industry websites, and in ECM magazine. ESD occurs when a swimmer enters an area where there ...
