Editing Braess's paradox (section)

=== Electricity ===
In 2012, scientists at the [[Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization]] demonstrated, through [[computational modelling]], the potential for the phenomenon to occur in [[Electrical grid|power transmission networks]] where [[Electricity generation|power generation]] is decentralized.<ref name=rdmag_mpi>{{Citation

In particular, they showed that adding a path for electrons in a nanoscopic network paradoxically reduced its conductance. That was shown both by simulations as well as experiments at low temperature using [[scanning gate microscopy]].
