Shini explores electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge. Electric current works like a river... kinda... Instead of flowing based on elevation ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

Researchers explain why weak magnetic fields can instantly control electrical flow direction in these quantum metals. (Nanowerk News) Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that ...

Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

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 ...

In school, you might have learned that electrons were negatively charged and protons were positive. This is not a fact of nature but a human-invented convention. It’s a fact that protons and electrons ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough to control the metal's macroscopic electrical properties. Subscribe to our ...
