Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

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 ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

A new electrical method to conveniently change the direction of electron flow in some quantum materials could have implications for the development of next-generation electronic devices and quantum ...

Two different mechanisms are found to be responsible for the direction-dependent flow of electrons in chiral magnets Figure 1: The arrangement of electron spins in a ...

A new method by Penn State researchers conveniently changes the direction of electron flow in materials that exhibit the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect — a phenomenon in which the flow of ...

New measurements in germanium reveal how excited electrons drive lattice vibrations that govern energy flow and heating in semiconductors.

(NewsNation) — Physicists at MIT have found a way to observe electrons in some exotic materials that appear to flow without resistance. The discovery could lead to the invention of superefficient ...

A weird phenomenon in which electricity flows like water was spotted in a nanowire made of "strange metal" — a bizarre metal phase that has stumped physicists for 40 years. When you purchase through ...

Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) allow current to flow in devices like implantable biosensors. But scientists long knew about a quirk of OECTs that no one could explain: When an OECT is ...
