World’s first terahertz microscope shows long-hidden quantum jiggle in superconductors
MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...
With the terahertz scope, the team observed a frictionless “superfluid” of superconducting electrons that were collectively ...
By squeezing terahertz light beyond its usual limits, researchers have exposed hidden quantum "jiggles" inside a ...
The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...
You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...
The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...
