"Demon Particle Discovery: A Breakthrough in Physics' Holy Grail"

Scientists have discovered a "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 provides a potential avenue for exploring and improving superconductors, and further research in other metals may yield valuable insights.

Discovery of a 'Demon' Plasmon Unveils Secrets of Superconductors

Physicists have accidentally discovered Pines' Demon, a quantum phenomenon predicted in 1956, in the material strontium ruthenate. Pines' Demon is a type of plasmon, a discrete unit of waves among rippling electrons, and its discovery in a 3D metal has important implications for material physics. The researchers found this phenomenon while studying the material with electron spectroscopy and believe that further research on multi-band metals could provide insights into the behavior of demons and their role in superconductivity.
