Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance. Obviously, this has ...

A new article presents a theoretical analysis of electron spins in moving semiconductor quantum dots, showing how these can be controlled by electric fields in a way that suggests they may be usable ...

Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE) and Ford have successfully completed a £430,000 Innovate UK-funded EB-eDrive project – ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Bits and Atoms have built a cheaper, simpler motion sensor made of a tiny metal bead suspended by a fluctuating electric field.

How do different materials react to the impact of ions? This is a question that plays an important role in many areas of research -- for example in nuclear fusion research, when the walls of the ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane magnetization" of ferromagnetic oxide films (SrRuO3). Arising from the spontaneous ...
