Electricity May Flow Without Electrons
- amkhrjee 1y ago"Using the wire, Chen helped show that the metal it’s made from — and others like it — may carry electrical charge without electrons."
- gus_massa 1y agoNote that in spite of the title, in those metals electricity flow with electrons. In normal methods it's easy to do the calculation if you imagine there are somewhat isolated "electrons", with the charge of one electron but with a different mass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid-state_physics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_mass_(solid-state_ph... In this metals it may be better to use another approximation, maybe slightly similar to a bose gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose_gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose_gas that still has atoms but they behave vert weirdly.
