Researchers solve this by introducing a novel type of conductance measurement, which allows for the study of genuine 2D effects starting from a single 1D wire.

Unexpected motion: disorder mixes excited states, which allows transport to occur. (Courtesy: iStock_piranka) Under the right conditions, the transport of electrical charges through wires with ...

Similar to the protein–DNA search method, a diffusing particle alternates between spatial diffusion and 1D motion.
