MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material
Reported byScienceDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
MIT researchers studying erbium tritelluride found that two distinct electronic phases organize themselves within the same quantum material through strikingly different mechanisms—one spreading gradually like water becoming vapor, the other expanding outward in isolated pockets resembling ice crystal formation—revealing previously hidden physics of phase transitions.
