A group of scientists has created a quantum material where electricity can flow without losing energy as heat. Until now, this was only seen in ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

Converting wave motion into electricity holds enormous potential as a renewable energy source, but a lack of standardized prototyping is holding back technological development. A research team led by ...

Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

An international team of scientists has shown that tiny imperfections and vibrations within a ...
