For electrons moving along a quantum wire, researchers in Cambridge and Frankfurt have discovered that there are two ‘lanes’, and electrons can take both simultaneously! The flow of electrons carries the current in a wire. If the wire is…

Demand for electronic processing power to run smaller and more powerful devices has meant that transistors, the tiny electrical switches that transmit information, have had to shrink as well. Scientists’ pursuit of the smallest possible…

Negative capacitance field-effect transistors are being explored as a way to make traditional transistors more efficient -- by simply adding a thin film of dielectric material. Billions of tiny switches called transistors are found in…
