Electron Capital was founded by Jos Shaver, who turned over the reins to Ran Zhou in 2023.

Researchers engineered a quantum material with superconducting and topological traits, opening the door to ultra-efficient ...

Proton beams with giga-electron-volt (GeV) energies—once thought to be achievable only with massive particle accelerators—may soon be generated in compact setups thanks to a breakthrough by ...

One example is the electric vortex, a microscopic 'whirlpool' formed by electric dipoles — regions where positive and ...

Scientists at Rice University have discovered a bizarre type of bacteria that utilizes electricity for respiration instead of ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, University of Michigan researchers have discovered—upending ...

Since it has 1 more electron than protons, chlorine has a charge of –1, making it a negative ion. When ions form, atoms gain or lose electrons until their outer energy level is full. For example, when ...

Renewable electricity is cheap and clean, but also less predictable than firing up a gas turbine. Turns out that’s both a problem and an opportunity. Most solutions to the problem of ...

Scientists in South Korea have made a major breakthrough that could improve the performance and lifespan of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Researchers at the Korea Institute of ...

The electrification of everything is the biggest shakeup the global energy system has seen in decades. Unfortunately, the route to the future is hung up by the culture wars of the energy ...
