In a study appearing in Review of Scientific Instruments, UC Davis researchers report a refined NMR method for investigating condensed matter materials, improving the sensitivity of the method by roughly 1,000 times.

Historically, the Fermi-Hubbard model's theoretical and experimental applications have been limited to atoms with electrons that exist in two possible states. In new research, UC Davis physicists and an international research team expanded the Fermi-Hubbard model, allowing for a more detailed exploration of materials and their properties.
