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 ...

Team uses light to control magnetic fields in quantum materials, steering resistance-free electric currents for ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

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 ...

(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 ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings ...

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 ...

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 ...
