electron moving through printed circuits, and body roll is not a factor.

The computer's performance has generally been improved
through upgrades in digital semiconductor performance: shrinking the size of the semiconductor's transistors to ramp up transaction speed, packing more of them onto the chip to increase processing power, and even substituting silicon with compounds such as gallium arsenide or indium phosphide, which allow
electrons to
move at a higher velocity.

In theory,
electrons should
move through these sheets with essentially no resistance.
As a read head
moves above bits of magnetic data, changes in the magnetic orientation of those bits alter the electrical resistance of
electrons flowing
through the sensor, translating the magnetic data into a stream of electrical pulses.
Superconductivity occurs when
electrons come together in a material in Cooper pairs that can
move unimpeded
through the material.
For example, turn on your digital camera to snap a picture of the setting sun and photons flying in
through the lens make
electrons move out from semiconductors located where the film would be in conventional cameras.
Many people picture electrical conductivity as the flow of charged particles (mainly
electrons) without really thinking about the atomic structure of the material
through which those charges are
moving.
«We're still trying to understand how
electrons move vertically
through these layered materials, and we thought it should take a lot less energy.
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.
This motion would be detected by measuring image charges, which are induced by the
moving electrons, flowing
through another electrode using a commercially available current amplifier and lock - in detector.
Above a certain critical temperature, the
electrons can
move relatively easily
through the material enabling the flow of electrical current.
As neutrons (blue line) scatter off the graphene - like honeycomb material, they produce a magnetic Majorana fermion (green wave) that
moves through the material disrupting or breaking apart magnetic interactions between «spinning»
electrons.
Many of today's technologies (i.e. solid state lighting, transistors in computer chips, and batteries in cell phones) rely simply on the charge of the
electron and how it
moves through the material.
The transport of these
electrons as a current can be encouraged or discouraged by a voltage applied to an overlying electrostatic gate, pretty much the same arrangement used to
move currents
through field - effect - transistors (FETs), one of the universal components of myriad electronic devices.
Kane's calculations suggested that
electrons would
move through this one - atom - thick material in a way that reminded him of the quantum Hall effect: a phenomenon first observed in 1980.
A topological insulator sounds simple enough — a block of material that lets
electrons move along its surface, but not
through its inside.
Mercer says the team has since done
electron microscopy experiments that show the virus
moving into the cell
through membrane indentations, although these data were not part of the published study.
Scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have made the first direct measurements, and by far the most precise ones, of how
electrons move in sync with atomic vibrations rippling
through an exotic material, as if they were dancing to the same beat.
In most metals, conductivity is limited by crystal imperfections which cause
electrons to frequently scatter like billiard balls when they
move through the material.
This allows you to manipulate the quantum potential field discovered by David Bohm and Yakir Aharanov
through their experiments in which they shielded the magnetic field, and the
electron was still affected, it still
moved and phase shifted,
through the use of the potentials, which are physically real and usable.
We literally charge mitochondria with
electrons when we eat, and drain those
electrons with activity that
moves protons
through the pump.
Not being absorbed by real world water, visible is not only not capable because of its tiny scale of
moving the whole molecule of water into vibration which is what it takes to heat water, but it isn't even able to be absorbed by the
electrons of the water molecules as the
electrons of the molecules of air absorb it, so water doesn't reflect / scatter visible light on the
electrons of molecule level as does air, but gives up and passes it along, and so, visible is transmitted
through, also, unchanged, but much delayed.
In the atmosphere the absorption of visible light's energy by the
electrons of the gas air does not create heat, the energy is used in motion
through space (think petrol in the car used for motion
through space), as the
electron is
moved in its orbit and when returning to ground state when it spits out the same energy as entered; the right kind of energy and an
electron can be
moved out of its orbit completely.
A third party could then note that this still underestimates what is called the «correlation energy» of the system, because treating the
electron cloud as a continuous distribution
through when
electrons move ignores the fact thatindividual
electrons strongly repel and hence do not like to get near one another.
