A research team has found the strongest evidence yet of a novel type of superconducting material, a fundamental science breakthrough that may open the door to coaxing superconductivity — the flow of electric current without a loss of energy — in a new way.
Professor Inna Vishik joins 18 other researchers from across the nation who will each receive a five-year, $1.25 million grant to pursue new research goals and explore uncharted, innovative ideas.
During a recent Dean’s Faculty Fellow Public Talk, Inna Vishik guided attendees through “Superconductivity: The Hype and the Reality.” The lecture took a sobering look at the field while also providing insight into the latest research developments from Vishik and her UC Davis colleagues.
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.
