Scientists from the US Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University have discovered surprising behaviour amongst electrons in high-temperature superconductors (HTS). “Our discovery challenges a corner-stone of condensed matter physics,” said Brookhaven Lab physicist Jie Wu. “These electrons seem to spontaneously ‘choose’ their own paths through the material – a phenomenon in direct opposition to expectations.” ...
