Drifting is the most common term for an issue where joysticks detect false inputs — even when no one is touching a controller ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a revolutionary alternative—three-dimensional transistors leveraging quantum tunneling.

Dark matter is a confounding concept that teeters on the leading edges of cosmology and physics. We don't know what it is or ...

Quantum tunnelling can at times be the cause of kinetic isotope effects, and in these cases conventional wisdom has been that molecules with isotopes of larger mass will react more slowly.

The thinner barrier at the top promotes tunneling, but few particles have sufficient energy at these heights. In the early years of the 20th century, a new theory, quantum mechanics, revolutionized ...

(Image: Butsurin Jinnai and Shunsuke Fukami, Tohoku University) The key phenomenon that enables the operation of tunnel junctions is quantum tunneling. In classical physics, an electron with ...

Think of it as an elevator pitch, but in a huge lift in an unusually tall building. Graduate students have just three minutes and one slide to explain ...

Exploring the use of light to control negative differential resistance (NDR) in a micropillar quantum resonant tunneling diode (RTD), the research indicates that this approach could lead to highly ...
