Penn State scientists create elastic gel-like plastic that conducts electricity using salts and tiny fiber networks for flexible electronics.

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Adaptive materials can play a central role in net-zero building, offering a solution that's not only smart but sustainable from production to end-of-life.

Earthquakes may do more than shake the ground. New research suggests they could help build massive gold nuggets.

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Electrons confined within self-assembled phosphorus chains have been shown to move in a strictly one-dimensional manner, marking a significant advance in condensed matter physics and nanomaterials ...

In a new study 'Flexoelectric domain walls enable charge separation and transport in cubic perovskites' published in Nature Communications, physicists at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.

If you were asked to picture how electrons move, you could be forgiven for imagining a stream of particles sluicing down a wire like water rushing through a pipe. After all, we often describe ...

An international team of researchers from TU Dresden, Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics Halle, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and partner institutions across Europe has ...

That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials at the smallest scale. The electronic flicker noise is often caused by ...
