The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

Physicists have made the first definitive measurements of "persistent current," a small but perpetual electric current that flows naturally through tiny rings of metal wire even without an external ...

The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...

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 ...

If you want an electrical current to flow around a normal metal ring you have to supply enough energy to overcome the metal’s resistance – right? Not always, according to physicists in the US and ...

The Lab Report: Every week, The Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. Somewhere along the Mississippi River, a blissful current whips ...

Physicists from Trinity College Dublin and the Universidad Complutense of Madrid have made a peculiar discovery in which energy moves from a colder to a hotter region. They describe how a quantum ...

Ferromagnets are characterized by a magnetization that has long been used to store information. The magnetization is largely due to localized electron spins with their associated magnetic moments ...
