We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Light can generate an electrical current in semiconductor materials. This is how solar cells generate electricity from sunlight and how smart phone cameras can take photographs. To collect the ...

Recent progress in silicon photonics, plasmonics and graphene has allowed miniaturization of basic elements of integrated optics well beyond the light diffraction limit 1,2,3,4. Many important ...

Electric shock drowning (ESD) is a regular topic in the press, in boating magazines, on various electrical industry websites, and in ECM magazine. ESD occurs when a swimmer enters an area where there ...

How does an electrical signal propagate in a neuron? Traditional cable theory, which was refined by Goldman, Hodgkin and Katz 1,2, answered this question using a model that was based on the opening ...

If you think about an asylum, there are two kinds of people in it: staff and patients. We aren’t sure which one [Nick Lucid] is in the latest The Science Asylum video that tries to answer the question ...

Shini explores electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge. Electric current works like a river... kinda... Instead of flowing based on elevation ...
