Electrons flow from the negative post through a circuit to the positive post. The concepts of CCF and EF are both scientifically arguable; they just describe the process in different ways.

Electricity is all around us, powering everything from the devices in our hands to the lights in our homes, but have you ever wondered, "What is electricity?" In this video, we’ll break down the ...

Scientists at the National Graphene Institute have shown that electrons — the particles responsible for electricity — flow like a liquid in graphene.

Researchers have experimentally caused electrons to bend in bilayer graphene with the use of light. The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a ...

In a normal electric circuit, say the wiring in your house, electrons bump and jostle each other and the surrounding atoms as they flow. That wastes some energy, which leaves the circuit as heat.

A new study shows that an electronic fluid can flow through materials without any electrical resistance, thereby perfectly eliminating a fundamental source of resistance that forms the ultimate limit ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics.

An electric current is a flow of charged particles (free electrons) in one direction. Metals are good conductors of electricity because they contain free electrons.

Electrons flow through most materials more like a gas than a fluid, meaning they don’t interact much with one another. It was long hypothesized that electrons could flow like a fluid, but only ...

The unusual flow of electric current through a strange class of metals challenges our textbook understanding of charge-carrying particles — because whatever is shuttling current through these metals ...
