Sentences with phrase «electrical resistance dropped»

When Joachim and Gimzewski moved the STM tip down, slightly flattening their buckyball, the molecule's electrical resistance dropped 100-fold, allowing the current to flow more easily from the STM tip to the metal surface.

Leading - edge research by a team of SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) scientists has been published in ACS Nano after the scientists evaluated ultrathin indium (III) selenide (In2Se3) nanosheets and discovered that their electrical resistance drops significantly when exposed to light.

Not exact matches

The discovery, reported in tomorrow's issue of Nature, relies on a phenomenon called colossal magnetoresistance — a large drop in a material's electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field — that has previously been seen only at very low temperatures.
