Imagine a world without the glow of your screen, the hum of your fridge, or the instant communication across continents.

Equipotential lines are curved lines on a map which mark out lines of identicalaltitude. The altitude pertains to electric potential or voltage. Equipotential lines are curved lines on a map which ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

A new low-power technique for detecting the spin of electrons in a non-magnetic system could aid the development of spintronics devices that work using ferroelectricity rather than ferromagnetism.

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) involve the use and development of micron-sized electrical devices such as microelectrodes, sensors, and actuators that are integrated into computer and ...
