SCIENTISTS SHED LIGHT ON HEAVY ELECTRONS, SUGGEST NEW VIEW OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, July 30
(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of California, Irvine, and the University of California, Davis have proposed a new characterization for the bizarre behavior of certain super-cooled materials--many that act as superconductors--which suggests a paradigm shift in the way scientists understand superconductivity.
The researchers' work is
explained in the article "Scaling the Kondo Lattice," which appears in
the July 31 edition of Nature. Their findings hold the potential to
provide new insight into superconductivity that could dramatically
change the efficiency, for example, of power generation and storage...
