A weird phenomenon in which electricity flows like water was spotted in a nanowire made of "strange metal" — a bizarre metal phase that has stumped physicists for 40 years. When you purchase through ...

Scientists have shown that twisting a crystal at the nanoscale can turn it into a tiny, reversible diode, hinting at a new era of shape-engineered electronics.

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

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 ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST ...

A material cooled near absolute zero produced an electrical signal that physics said should not exist, revealing a new kind ...

Discover the science behind diodes — the tiny components that control the flow of electricity. Learn how they let current pass in one direction, block it in the other, and power everything from phone ...
