Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered evidence of a massless, neutral plasmon called a 'demon' in the metal strontium ruthenate, supporting a 1956 theory and potentially advancing understanding of high-temperature superconductors by revealing a new quasiparticle that could operate at room temperature.
After 67 years, researchers have finally confirmed the existence of the elusive "demon" particle, a massless and neutral entity in solids, as predicted by physicist David Pines. Using a nonstandard experimental technique, a research team led by Peter Abbamonte at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign detected the demon particle in the metal strontium ruthenate. The demon particle's unique properties have made it difficult to detect, but this discovery underscores the value of innovative research approaches and opens up new possibilities for understanding the behaviors of multi-band metals.
Scientists have discovered a particle known as the "Demon Particle" that could revolutionize our understanding of superconductors and potentially lead to the development of room-temperature superconductors. Superconductors are materials that have zero electrical resistance, but they currently require extreme cooling to achieve this state. The Demon Particle, a massless plasmon, could help electrons flow through materials effortlessly, allowing electricity to flow indefinitely without resistance. The discovery of this particle provides valuable insight into the behavior of superconductors and brings us closer to the possibility of practical applications in energy generation.
Physicists from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered a transparent, massless, and neutral "demon" particle that could aid in understanding superconductors. The particle, theorized by physicist David Pines in 1956, is a quasiparticle formed by two plasmons falling out of phase with each other. Unlike other particles, demons do not interact with light, making them difficult to detect. The discovery was made while studying the electronic properties of strontium ruthenate, and further research is needed to fully comprehend the functions of this quasiparticle.
Scientists have discovered an elusive "demon" particle, known as Pines' demon, inside a superconductor called strontium ruthenate. This chargeless particle, a plasmon, could help unravel the mystery of how superconductors work. Theorists believe that plasmons may play a role in facilitating superconductivity, and understanding this could lead to the development of room-temperature superconductors, which would revolutionize electricity transmission. The discovery of Pines' demon, nearly 70 years after it was first predicted, opens up new possibilities for studying and harnessing the potential of superconductors.
