In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...

An electric current is a flow of charged particles. A source of energy, such as a cell or battery, is required to make the free electrons move in one direction. Electrons are negatively charged ...

Beneath our feet, an invisible world of electron exchanges quietly drives the chemistry that sustains ecosystems, controls ...

The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a significant departure from our conventional understanding of physics. This ...

A few weeks ago, we looked at a video showing water “solving” a maze. [AlphaPhoenix] saw the same video, and it made him think about electrons “finding the path of least resistance.” So can you solve ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

Electrons flow underground in ways far more extensive than once believed, forming networks that link distant chemical zones. Minerals, organic molecules, and specialized bacteria can act as bridges, ...
