ANN ARBOR, Michigan, May 8 (TNSjou) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news:
* * *
Quantum metallurgy: Electron crystals deform and melt
Electrons can arrange into crystalline patterns that accumulate defects as they melt; controlling the degree of melting may advance superconductors and artificial neurons
Key takeaways
* Electron crystals, also called charge density waves, are clusters of electrons neatly arranged . . .
