Breaking Ohm's Law: Moving Electrons Without Voltage

Researchers at Stanford University have invented a quantum electron pump, a device that operates according to the laws of quantum physics. The pump uses slight changes in shape created by electrostatic forces to push electrons through it, allowing for the movement of electrons without relying on voltage differences.
