On each cycle of the alternating current, electrons will flow into one side of the foil, acting like they had someplace to go despite the fact that the foil’s a dead end. When the voltage reverses, ...

In fact, the speed is so slow that electrons in an AC circuit hardly move at all since they just pace back and forth a very small amount on each half cycle.

Scattering between electrons in the material graphene can cause these particles to flow like a viscous liquid. Such flow, which has previously been detected using measurements of electrical ...

Electron-phonon interactions — collisions between charge-carrying electrons and heat-carrying vibrations in the atomic lattice of the material — are considered the primary cause of electrons slowing ...
