Two groups of students, those who used real equipment and those who used a computer simulation that explicitly
modeled electron flow, were compared in terms of their mastery of physics concepts and skills with real equipment.

Now a transistor that controls the
flow of atoms, rather than
electrons, could be used as a
model to probe the mysterious electrical property of superconductivity.
The work relies on a
model system called a Kondo chain, where
flowing electrons interact with local magnetic moments within a material.
