In solar cells, solar radiation boosts electrons to higher energy states, thereby releasing them from their atomic bonds as electricity begins to flow. Scientists have now developed a novel method ...

In their simulations of 2D semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, the researchers found that when treating both the charge and heat carriers as part of the same system, the ...

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 ...

An electron will not pass through every component on its way round the circuit. If one of the bulbs is broken then current will still be able to flow round the circuit through the other loop.

The phenomenon represents a milestone in the emerging field of ‘atomtronics’, which seeks to create a whole new class of devices that use the flow of atoms, rather than electrons, in a circuit.

A river made of graphene with the electrons flowing like water. Courtesy: Ryan Allen and Peter Allen, Second Bay Studios Electrons can behave like a viscous liquid as they travel through a conducting ...

When atom clouds go with the flow Time to retire the old soldering iron? In the "atomtronic" circuits pictured on the right, it is atoms, not electrons, that flow. Such circuits could form the ...
