"The most exciting achievement of our study was developing the first practical application of viscous electron flow, a concept previously seen as purely theoretical," said Bandurin.

Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an ...

Analysis of carbon and electron flow We employed constraint-based modelling methods to the integrated genome-scale metabolic model to characterize the carbon and electron flow defining the ...

This model allowed them to gain insights into the behaviour and flow of electrons in the lattice. Beyond a critical value, disorder arrested electron flow in the lattice, making it an insulator.

By measuring this current, the team was also able to observe the transition between the regime in which electron-electron scattering dominates and that in which the electrons flow ballistically. “As ...

A team of researchers has developed a theory to explain how hydrodynamic electron flow could occur in 3D materials and observed it for the first time using a new imaging technique.

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics.

Physicists have directly measured, for the first time at nanometer resolution, the fluid-like flow of electrons in graphene. The results have applications in developing new, low-resistance ...

In the March 13 Nature, they reported that in a mouse model of MS, disease-associated microglia seem to undergo reverse electron transport (RET), where mitochondria make reactive oxygen species (ROS) ...

An individual “dopant” atom has been spied interfering with the flow of electrons through a silicon transistor for the first time. Researchers say the feat could help scientists squeeze more ...

I came to engineering by way of the technician route. I learned electronics in a technical school and was taught that current flow was electron flow and all circuit analysis was done that way.

By controlling electron flow, this strategy achieves efficient activation and direct transformation of N 2 under mild conditions to synthesize azo compounds in a single step, offering a new ...
