New research led by Monash University geologists suggests that electric currents generated within the earth play a role in their formation. The researchers noted that pure gold is often found in ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

A new technique for measuring the energy levels of certain organic crystals may provide the key to an understanding of the mechanisms of electron transfer in living ...

Portable current transformers are vital for industrial electricians, providing a reliable way to measure and monitor ...

An electric current can flow in the wire from one end of the battery to the other, but nothing useful happens. The wire just gets very hot and the battery loses stored internal energy – it ...

The 1923 winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, Robert Millikan, hailed Franklin’s clarifying insights into the action of electric currents as “probably the most fundamental thing ever done in ...

Audi is riding a new wave of expanded electrical currents to magnify the mid-size luxury SUV market. The 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron ...

The quantum Hall effect, a fundamental effect in quantum mechanics, not only generates an electric but also a magnetic current. It arises from the motion of electrons on an orbit around the nuclei of ...
