TL;DR Summary

Researchers studying strange metals have discovered evidence that challenges our understanding of electrical currents. By conducting quantum measurement experiments on nanowires made of ytterbium, rhodium, and silicon, they found that the behavior of electrical currents in strange metals differs from that of normal metals. Instead of quasiparticles, the researchers observed a more liquid-like flow of charge, suggesting that the traditional model of quasiparticles may not apply in these materials. The findings support a theory proposed over 20 years ago and raise questions about how charge moves collectively in strange metals.
