Anyons – the particle-like collective excitations that can exist in some 2D materials – tend to bunch together in a two-dimensional conductor. This behaviour, which has now been observed by physicists ...

Pictorial model of polyindole packing evolution during high vacuum annealing. Water molecules and carboxylic groups are shown, to show that they diminish in the ...

Moving on to our unit on the Physics of Electricity, it's time to talk about charge. Moving on to our unit on the Physics of Electricity, it's time to talk about charge. What is charge? Is there a ...

Solids can be categorised into conductors, semiconductors or insulators by their ability to conduct electricity. Electron band theory explains differences in conduction. Semiconductors can be doped ...

THE earliest industrial applications of the phenomena associated with strongly ionized gases, or ‘gaseous conductors’, appear to have been the introduction in England of the carbon arc for ...
