Design transforms heat into electrical energy via thermionic electron emission.

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

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

The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2025 honors scaled-up quantum physics—while sidestepping controversies swirling around quantum ...

A new color-changing material can remember and forget like a brain cell, creating self-erasing images that hide information ...

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John Martinis built an electrical circuit-based oscillator on a microchip.

This year’s Nobel Prize in physics has gone to three scientists who showed that it was possible even for large systems, made up of billions of these small particles, to exhibit quantum behaviour under ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the transistor age and the era of modern computing.

Liquid metal embedded with dormant bacterial spores forms a living conductor that heals itself, resists oxidation, and boosts ...
