In this diagram the upper-left end of the platinum film (shown in light blue) is hotter than the lower-right end. This causes electrons to flow from hot to cold. The spin Nernst effect is shown as ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

A solid material that conducts electricity perfectly at certain temperatures may also qualify as an almost perfectly flowing liquid. If the result is confirmed, the superconducting material would ...

Diffusion and hydrodynamic flow There are two main types of energy transport that underlie the researchers' concept: hydrodynamic flow, a collective kinetic process where the individual components of ...

Since electrons are so small and one electron will not have much of an effect anywhere, it is more useful to refer to packages of electrons. One coulomb of charge is a package equivalent to ...

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. Charge is a property of a body which experiences a force in an electric field. Charge is measured in coulombs (C). Since electrons are so small and one ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...
