A New Theory Emerges For High Temp Superconductivity
July 21, 2021 | Leave a Comment
A University of Tsukuba researcher has introduced a new theory for superconductivity that can better explain the results of recent experiments with high-temperature superconductors. By focusing on the ‘Berry connection,’ this work may lead to energy distribution with much less electrical resistance. The scientist works at the Division of Quantum Condensed Matter Physics at the […]
