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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Because graphene’s conduction and valence bands meet at discrete points (known as Dirac points), it has two such valleys. In the quantum valley Hall effect, the electrons in these different valleys ...

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.

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 ...
