(Nanowerk News) When many people try to squeeze through a passageway at the same time, it creates a bottleneck that slows everyone down. It turns out the reverse is true for electrons, which can move ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have solved a long ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

A team of researchers from Harvard and MIT developed a theory to explain how hydrodynamic electron flow could occur in 3D materials and observed it for the first time using a new imaging technique.

The researchers imaged the Hall voltage profile for both flow regimes using a scanning probe recently developed in their laboratory. This ultraclean carbon nanotube single-electron-transistor-based ...

Scientists have uncovered why a critical part of photosynthesis only uses one of two seemingly identical pathways, revealing hidden energy barriers and structural nuances that could help engineer more ...

The findings mark the first discovery of an electron-phonon liquid inside NbGe2, Tafti said. "We wanted to test a recent prediction of the 'electron-phonon fluid,'" Tafti said, noting that phonons are ...
