'Electrons in high numbers can move past bottlenecks faster'
A theoretical study at MIT shows that 'superballistic' electrons passing through a narrow area in a metal can move faster when in higher numbers, offering a seemingly paradoxical result. Researchers gave an analogy of gas molecules passing through a bottleneck, where 'lossless' collisions between a large number of molecules preserve energy in comparison to loss-generating molecule-wall collisions.
