RealFeedApp Researchers heard faint electrical crackles in cuprates
A team led by Milan Allan and Ingmar Swart discovered that electrons vanish in the pseudogap state of cuprates, a phenomenon detected by analyzing faint electrical crackle.
- Field
- new materials
- What they did
- Physicists studied the electrical noise generated by current flowing through cuprate materials to investigate the disappearance of electrons known as the pseudogap.
- Why it matters
- This will help explain why certain materials conduct electricity without resistance at temperatures reachable with liquid nitrogen, rather than only at temperatures near absolute zero.
