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.

The Schwinger effect reveals how vacuum fluctuations can produce real particles under strong electric fields, now explored ...

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 ...
