Friedman's all - carbon, spintronic switch functions as a logic gate that relies on a basic tenet of electromagnetics: As an electric current moves through a wire, it creates a magnetic field that wraps around the wire.

Each individual nanowire is a semiconductor, which means that electric current moving through the wire can be switched on and off, Kim said.

What's more, skyrmions can easily move through a material, pushed along by an electric current.

Skyrmions don't move in the same direction as an electric current, but at an angle to it.

The way reconnection disturbs terrestrial power grids is complex but, in essence, the process mimics what happens in electric generators, where a fluctuating magnetic field (usually a moving magnet) produces a current in a coil of wire, says Adam Szabo, director of NASA's Heliophysics Laboratory.

«Just as in regular electric generators, when moving magnetic fields cross long electrical conductors, electric currents will be generated.

In this method, when a liquid droplet suspended between a pair of electrodes in dielectric oil is exposed to a direct current (DC) electric field, the droplet moves between the pair of electrodes periodically and deforms under the intense DC electric field (Fig. 1).

Physicist Stuart Parkin and his colleagues at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., set out to determine just how magnetized regions move along nanowires when driven by electric current.

The pent - up energy in the fields can only be dissipated if they move and, in doing so, are able to generate electric currents.

The collective flipping of large numbers of metallic nanowire atoms, forced by a large number of electrons in the electric current, moves the domain wall — and the data bits it separates — along.

He observed that changing magnetic fields creates electric currents, and moving electric charges generates magnetic fields.

Quantum mechanics governs, for example, how fast — and if at all - electrons can move through a material and, thereby, determine whether the material is a metal which conducts an electric current or whether it is an insulator which can not conduct a current.

Today's electronic devices are powered by transistors, which are tiny silicon structures that rely on negatively charged electrons moving through the silicon, forming an electric current.

This oscillation is much like a spring moving back and forth, but unlike a spring, moving magnetic fields cause an unstable environment, setting charged particles moving and initiating electric currents.

The action of electric currents driven by moving gas later amplified the field inside galaxies by a «dynamo effect».

The latest electric vehicles use lithium - ion batteries, in which lithium ions move from anode to cathode (negative to positive), transforming chemical energy into electric current.

When humans move, or think about a movement, neurons in the motor cortex produce tiny electric currents.

Scientists found they could prod these skyrmions to move using electric currents, and an idea was born: could we use them to represent 1s and 0s in computer memory?

Moving blocks and building bridges by operating electric currents were only the start.

His breakthrough came when he discovered that he could induce an electric current by moving a magnet inside a coil of wire.

Schwarzenbauer indicated to Reuters that BMW is committed to moving the brand «in the direction of the electric urban mobility company,» rather than seeking to field larger models due to the current popularity of crossovers and SUVs.

While the car is on the move, the electric drive itself contributes to a favourable energy balance through recuperation, by converting kinetic energy into electric current in deceleration mode and during braking and feeding this energy into the battery.

While the car is on the move, the system converts kinetic energy into electric current in deceleration mode and during braking, feeding this energy into the lithium - ion battery, which is located underfloor.

While the car is on the move, the electric drive itself converts kinetic energy into electric current in deceleration mode and during braking and feeding this energy into the battery.

Certain works also had beaded drapery moved by air currents from small electric fans, obscuring the work but also beckoning the viewer.

Their choice on whether to go along with the SRPP may determine whether these hard - won manufacturing facilities and jobs will move elsewhere and whether their citizens will continue to enjoy their current, generally lower than the national average, electric rates.

The challenge there is that MMTS instruments required an electric current (unlike old LiG thermometers), and in many cases stations were moved as well as instruments changed at the same time, making a simple correction easy.

When the wind blows through them, it separates positive and negative charges as it moves the mist, which builds up to an almost 200,000 volt direct electric current that the system transmits through a high voltage cable back to the electrical grid on land.

The classical «radio» antenna of Hertzian waves is a structure where charges can move around due to electric currents in the antenna, and thereby set up intertwined electric and magnetic fields; which it turns out are pretty much always perpendicular to each other.

Portland General Electric and Pacific Power will now generate 50 percent of their power from renewables by 2040, up from the current 25 percent by 2025 target, a move that will help spur significant growth in local wind and solar energy investments.
