In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

Electronic nematicity is a phase of some crystalline solids in which electrons' collective properties, such as charge or spin ...

“Dark” electrons within solid materials may help us learn more about the behaviour of high-temperature superconductors, and perhaps solve other mysteries in material science. Most of a material’s ...
