The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST ...

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

Recent progress in silicon photonics, plasmonics and graphene has allowed miniaturization of basic elements of integrated optics well beyond the light diffraction limit 1,2,3,4. Many important ...

How does an electrical signal propagate in a neuron? Traditional cable theory, which was refined by Goldman, Hodgkin and Katz 1,2, answered this question using a model that was based on the opening ...

The manipulation and control of electron spins, the fundamental building blocks of magnetic domains and spin textures, are at the core of spintronics. Of particular interest is the effect of the ...

In the Feb. 22 issue of RWEE, we asked: What is skin effect in alternating current and what is its relationship to current flow? a. Skin effect is the tendency of all current flow on printed circuit ...

Electric shock drowning (ESD) is a regular topic in the press, in boating magazines, on various electrical industry websites, and in ECM magazine. ESD occurs when a swimmer enters an area where there ...
