It is a common practice to lockout and/or tagout control devices. In a nuclear power plant’s control room with its many analog controls, you might (for example) see red covers over specific switches.

By controlling magnetic fields using light, a team of researchers led by NTU scientists has solved a long-standing challenge to precisely direct electric currents produced by quantum materials. Their ...

A new low-power technique for detecting the spin of electrons in a non-magnetic system could aid the development of spintronics devices that work using ferroelectricity rather than ferromagnetism.

A new electrical method to conveniently change the direction of electron flow in some quantum materials could have implications for the development of next-generation electronic devices and quantum ...

Engineers built a nanoscale optical device that uses voltage to control light's phase and intensity, advancing quantum communication and compact optical technologies. The device, developed by ...

Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...

Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism ...
