PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, May 1 -- Brown University issued the following news:
The new understanding from a research team at Brown fundamentally explains for the first time why one type of Mott insulator, which has puzzled scientists for decades, has resisted conducting electricity.
The researchers found the key to their theory is an unexpected collection of particles called bipolarons that form when electronic charge is added to the material. Photo provided by Mitrov . . .
