Surprising Stripes in a “Bad Metal” Offer Clues to High-Temperature Superconductivity

“Scientists measure subtle electronic fluctuations that could help pinpoint the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductors. High-temperature superconductivity offers perfect conveyance of electricity, but it does so at the price of extreme cold and an ever-elusive mechanism. If understood, scientists might push …

Tech researchers team up for advanced materials

“Ask Georgia Tech researchers working with advanced materials for examples, and they give a pop culture reference. Two of them even cite the same reference. “It’s like The Terminator, liquid metal that then becomes a solid,” says Alberto Fernandez-Nieves …
