The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a ...

Electronic devices lose energy as heat due to the movement of electrons. Now, a breakthrough in nanoengineering has produced ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?

Engineers at the University of Michigan have created a breakthrough device that can control the flow of excitons—tiny bundles ...

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 ...

Electrons in graphene can act like a perfect fluid, defying established physical laws. This finding advances both fundamental science and potential quantum technologies. For decades, quantum ...

In a collaborative effort, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science and Japan's National Institute for Materials Science have captured an elusive fluid state in graphene. The study was published ...

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 ...

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 ...
