A new, ultrathin film that is both transparent and highly conductive to electric current has been produced by a cheap and simple method devised by an international team of nanomaterials researchers.

WATCH: How Fast Does Electricity Move? Slower Than a Turtle Walks
You might find it surprising to hear that electrons flow through a copper wire much slower than the speed at which an average turtle walks.

For the first time, an experiment has directly imaged electron orbits in a high-magnetic field, illuminating an unusual behavior in electrons and suggesting new ways of manipulating the charged particles.

Less than a micrometer thin, bendable and giving all the colors that a regular LED display does, new "electronic paper" still needs ten times less energy than a Kindle tablet.

Researchers have engineered a material that could lead to a new generation of computing devices, packing in more computing power while consuming a fraction of the energy that today's electronics require.
