Images of electron flow from the quantum point contact (QPC) are obtained by raster scanning a negatively charged scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip above the surface of the device and ...

On a quest to discover new states of matter, a team of Princeton University scientists has found that electrons on the surface of specific materials act like miniature superheroes, relentlessly ...

The direction of free electron flow is from the negative terminal, through the conductor, to the positive terminal. The direction of conventional current is the direction marked on all circuit ...

Researchers have built the world's first superfluid circuit that uses pairs of ultracold electron-like atoms.

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 ...

They’ve essentially toggled the electron highway signs with an external magnetic field. This elegant control over band asymmetry might lead to low-power, high-speed data storage based on ...

In solar cells, solar radiation boosts electrons to higher energy states, thereby releasing them from their atomic bonds as electricity begins to flow. Scientists led by Professor Alexander ...

Study may contribute to the feasibility of transistors with electrical currents consisting of the passage of one single electron at a time, with applications for future computers.
