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 ...

Ions on the move: This image represents the lithium ions (in blue) moving through the structure. (Courtesy: University of Liverpool) Researchers at the University of Liverpool, UK have developed a new ...

A thin flake of ordinary carbon, just one atom thick, lies behind this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov have shown that carbon in such a flat form has exceptional ...

Revise conductors, semiconductors, insulators and p-n junctions for your Higher physics exam with Bitesize Scotland interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

May 22, 2001 14:11: Britney Spears has turned an obscure physics website into a worldwide hit. Carl Hepburn's site on semiconductors mixes pictures of the 19-year-old star with complex ...

The team used Scotch poster tape and glass slides to place high-temperature superconductors in proximity with a special type of semi-conductor known as a topological insulator. Topological insulators ...

This jelly is a highly efficient proton conductor, researchers report May 13 in Science Advances. In the jelly, positively charged particles move and transmit current.
