Sentences with phrase «free flow of electrons»

This direct observation confirms a long - held suspicion that the static electron arrangement and associated nanoscale fluctuations impair the free flow of electrons — like ice on a river impairs the flow of liquid water, Davis said.

Not exact matches

Unlike superconducting metal alloys, which must remain within a few degrees of absolute zero in order to display their resistance - free electron flow, high - Tc superconductors can operate at temperatures around 77 kelvins.

Last year, along with researchers led by Brookhaven / Columbia University School of Engineering physicist Simon Billinge, the team established the first firm link between the disappearance of the density wave within the pseudogap phase and the emergence, as stated by Davis, of «universally free - flowing electrons needed for unrestricted superconductivity» [see: https://www.bnl.gov/newsroom/news.php?a=11637].

«This is the first time an experiment has directly linked the disappearance of the density waves and their associated nanoscale crystal distortions with the emergence of universally free - flowing electrons needed for unrestricted superconductivity,» said lead author J.C. Séamus Davis, a senior physicist and Director of DOE's Center for Emergent Superconductivity at Brookhaven Lab and also a professor at both Cornell University and the St. Andrews University in Scotland.

Of course, freeing electrons in a copper - oxide insulator to get superconducting current flowing for useful applications won't be quite as easy as melting ice to get liquid water or removing pieces from a chessboard.

This cascade ionises the air, producing a conical shower of free electrons where a current might begin to flow.

It can also increase the general flow of restoring electrons to free radicals, and protect a variety of different oxidised tissues like proteins and also some lipids despite not even being fat soluble.

Kick your boots off and dig in to soak in the benefits of Earth's free - flowing electrons!
