Researchers have detected the existence of a charge density wave of electrons that acquires mass as it interacts with the background lattice ions of the material over long distances. Researchers at ...

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 ...

What if electricity and magnetism, usually considered as separate or even competing forces in materials, could actually work together in harmony? Charge density waves are quantum phenomena occurring ...

New research in Chinese Physics Letters investigates the phenomena of superconductivity and charge density waves in a monolayer material grown on a graphene substrate. Study: Charge Density Wave and ...

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 ...
