UPTON, NY—What makes some materials carry current with no resistance? Scientists are trying to unravel the complex characteristics. Harnessing this property, known as superconductivity, could lead to ...

A novel material has been discovered that is characterised by the coupling of a charge density wave with the topology of the electronic structure. Topological materials are characterised by unique ...

Visualizing the mechanism of charge transfer between two oxides. (Courtesy: W Gao, UC Irvine) Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to detect electric charge density as well as ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have detected the existence of a charge density wave of electrons that acquires mass as it interacts with the background lattice ions of the ...
