Electron Family Creates Previously Unknown State of Matter

A four-part electron family creates a completely new state of matter in a metal. Researchers from the Dresden-Würzburg Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat have demonstrated this unusual phenomenon for the first time worldwide.

Researchers have demonstrated a completely novel state of matter in a metal. It is created by the combination of four electrons — until now, only electron pairs were known. This discovery could lead to a new type of superconductivity, an entirely new research direction, and revolutionary technologies such as quantum sensors.

An international research team from the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat-Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter has demonstrated a completely novel state of matter in a metal...
