If electrons are really so picky about which direction they prefer to travel, what's to prevent them from all deciding to move side-to-side rather than end-to-end? In that case, current would be flowing like crazy, but none would be entering or exiting either end of the wire. That would be a serious problem! :D

Full article here. Of course, it's a god-send for the marketing people ;)

It'll be very interesting to see if the work can be duplicated. Notice that Clarity Cap sponsored the research.
