The legacy of 40 years of cuprate superconductivity

In February 1986, Bednorz and Müller made a stunning discovery: superconductivity at a temperature of 35 K in a doped copper oxide (cuprate)...

#CondensedConcepts Ruminations on emergent phenomena in condensed phases of matter, by Ross H. McKenzie condensedconcepts.blogspot.com/2026/02/info... "Two different scientific communities have developed similar ideas to address the problem of emergence and causality."

Information theoretic measures for emergence and causality

The relationship between emergence and causation is contentious, with a long history. Most discussions are qualitative. Presented with a new...
