Deep, chewy, rich, digestible. A cracking good job by #ScienceJournalist Zack Savitsky.

''But the implications go beyond just building better superconductors. A theory that explains strange metals may force a fundamental rethinking of how electricity works in all materials. It might subsume the standard theory the way general relativity, with its curved spacetime, subsumed Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity—and prove just as unsettling. Strange metals are forcing physicists to ask whether the very idea of an electron, or any particle for that matter, is an oversimplification of what’s really going on. “The violation of the standard theory of solids in these strange metals is so dramatic—it’s in your face,” says Qimiao Si, a physicist at Rice University who collaborates with Paschen. “There’s no question there’s new physics.”''

Researchers develop new insight into the enigmatic realm of 'strange metals'

The behavior of so-called "strange metals" has long puzzled scientists—but a group of researchers at the University of Toronto may be one step closer to understanding these materials.

#strangemetals Hope this doesn't lead to even further environmental destruction by the rare-earth industry..
Tho classified as a rare-earth, its 0.3 parts per million in the Earth’s crust and more common than most other members in that category, including its neighbours on the periodic table thulium & lutetium
"Under cold conditions, ytterbium is more conductive than theory should allow. This could prove useful in the search for high-temperature superconducting materials" https://www.iflscience.com/-strange-metal-ytterbium-gets-even-stranger-when-hit-with-gamma-rays-67973
“Strange Metal” Ytterbium Gets Even Stranger When Hit With Gamma Rays

The impact of high-energy photons causes fluctuations in ytterbium’s electrical charge, although as yet no one really knows why.

Physicists explore mysteries of strange metals - Physicists are learning more about the bizarre behavior of "strange metals," which operate outside the normal rules of electricity. "The idea is that in a metal, you have a sea of electrons moving in the background on a lattice of ions. But a marvelous thing happens with quantum mechanics. You can forget about the complications of the lattice of ions. Instead, they behave as if they are in a vacuum." https://phys.org/news/2023-03-physicists-explore-mysteries-strange-metals.html #physics #StrangeMetals #quantum

Strange metals, or non-Fermi liquids, are distinct states of matter that have been observed in different quantum materials, including cuprate superconductors. These states are characterized by unusual conductive properties, such as a resistivity that is linearly associated with temperature (T-linear).
