Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

A team of researchers at the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology has found that electron current flow direction produced by the photon-drag effect is dependent on the environment in ...

An atomic force microscope can be used as a single-electron current meter, according to new experiments by researchers at IBM. The technique, which measures the energy levels of single molecules on ...

Secondary electron e-beam induced current (SEEBIC) imaging using a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) can reveal material properties such as electrical conductivity, connectivity, and ...

A team of physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in Menlo Park, California, generated the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beams ever produced. The team has published ...

Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites are promising materials for the application in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, the basic current-voltage behavior for electrons and holes is still ...

This illustration shows electric current being pumped into platinum (the bottom slab), which results in the creation of an electron spin current that switches the magnetic state of the 2D ferromagnet ...
