This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

In this diagram the upper-left end of the platinum film (shown in light blue) is hotter than the lower-right end. This causes electrons to flow from hot to cold. The spin Nernst effect is shown as ...

A solid material that conducts electricity perfectly at certain temperatures may also qualify as an almost perfectly flowing liquid. If the result is confirmed, the superconducting material would ...

Since electrons are so small and one electron will not have much of an effect anywhere, it is more useful to refer to packages of electrons. One coulomb of charge is a package equivalent to ...

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells like the one illustrated above. Such cells, which can power everything from calculators to cars (our example ...

In their simulations of 2D semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, the researchers found that when treating both the charge and heat carriers as part of the same system, the ...
