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 ...

The presence of impurities or defects, also known as disorder, in a metal could hinder the flow of free electrons. Beyond a critical value, such disorder could completely stop electron flow, turning ...

Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of ...

Physicists in the US have shown that light hitting a conductive metal surface at an angle can cause free electrons in the metal to move either in the same direction or in the opposite direction as the ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet α-EuP 3: ...

A river made of graphene with the electrons flowing like water. Courtesy: Ryan Allen and Peter Allen, Second Bay Studios Electrons can behave like a viscous liquid as they travel through a conducting ...

Researchers in South Korea have created magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin at room temperature. Spintronics, also called spin electronics, explores information processing by using the ...

Scientists in Korea have engineered magnetic nanohelices that can control electron spin with extraordinary precision at room ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum ...

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 ...
