We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Trillions of neutrinos—nearly massless, neutrally charged particles—pass through us every second, but we only acknowledge ...

Researchers announced that they have achieved the world's first elucidation of how hydrogen produces free electrons through the interaction with certain defects in silicon. The achievement has the ...

The age of being powered by molecules, or oil, coal and gas, is now giving way to one where competitiveness is increasingly ...

Quantum materials and superconductors are difficult enough to understand on their own. Unconventional superconductors, which ...

A long-standing mystery in spintronics has just been shaken up. A strange electrical effect called unusual magnetoresistance ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

University of Chicago researchers have begun examining data collected by a device transported by a NASA balloon that flew ...

Solar panel efficiency explained for Australia. Learn why some solar panels perform better and how to choose the most ...

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system. Unlike the wind we feel .

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...
