The electrical resistance of a metal is caused by electrons being scattered from impurities in the material’s atomic lattice or from lattice vibrations called phonons. However, it is not affected by ...

In the model presented in the new paper the red line shows the flow of electrons, or plasma, and the yellow line shows the sun's surface. The X enclosed by a circle shows magnetic field, with the ...

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 ...

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...
