Nobel Prize winners show how superconducting circuits can exhibit quantum behavior, leading to transformative technologies.

If you want an electrical current to flow around a normal metal ring you have to supply enough energy to overcome the metal’s resistance – right? Not always, according to physicists in the US and ...

Time to retire the old soldering iron? In the “atomtronic” circuits pictured on the right, it is atoms, not electrons, that flow. Such circuits could form the basis for ultra-sensitive gyroscopes.

Physicists used to think that superconductivity -- electricity flowing without resistance or loss -- was an all or nothing phenomenon. But new evidence suggests that, at least in copper oxide ...

Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...
