Physicists report progress in understanding high-temperature superconductorsSanta Cruz CA (SPX) Aug 02, 2011 Although high-temperature superconductors are widely used in technologies such as MRI machines, explaining the unusual properties of these materials remains an unsolved problem for theoretical physicists. Major progress in this important field has now been reported by physicists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in a pair of papers published back-to-back in the July 29 issue of Physical Review Letters. The first paper, by UCSC physicist Sriram Shastry, presents a new theory of "Extremel ... read more |
