Researchers used magnetic imaging to obtain the first direct visualization of how electrons flow in a special type of insulator, and by doing so they discovered that the transport current moves ...

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?

A new thermogalvanic device uses nanoparticles to control ion flow, allowing it to convert waste heat to electricity and store the energy without external batteries.

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

(Nanowerk News) A new study from the Weizmann Institute of Science in collaboration with Manchester University and UC Irvine shows that an electronic fluid can flow through materials without any ...

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power. When you purchase ...
