In this diagram the upper-left end of the platinum film (shown in light blue) is hotter than the lower-right end. This causes electrons to flow from hot to cold. The spin Nernst effect is shown as ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science’s Department of Physics, together with researchers from Japan's National ...

Physicists report new insights into the behavior of electrons on the surface of a topological insulator, a class of material with unique properties that challenge some of the oldest laws of physics.

How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry ...

For several decades, a central puzzle in quantum physics has remained unsolved: Could electrons behave like a perfect, ...

Scientists at the National Graphene Institute have shown that electrons — the particles responsible for electricity — flow like a liquid in graphene.

(non-Flash) In this interactive feature, take a look inside a photovoltaic cell to learn how it transforms sunlight into electricity.

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 ...

However, one major hurdle for spintronics researchers has been the difficulty in detecting the flow of spinning electrons in real time.

Perfect fluid of electrons may flow inside superconductor Research could help scientists understand materials that conduct electricity without resistance ...
