Global first: Physicists use light to reveal quantum vibrations in a superconducting material
Light can tell you a lot about what matter is doing. Visible light shows a surface. X-rays reveal hidden structure. Infrared ...
You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...
The implications of the breakthrough could ripple through multiple industries. A better understanding of how superconductivity behaves at quantum scales could accelerate the development of ...

World’s first terahertz microscope shows long-hidden quantum jiggle in superconductors
MIT physicists have built a new microscope that can see quantum motion inside superconductors ...
The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...
As a result, an ordinary light microscope using one of the slides is able to image much smaller objects than was previously possible. In tests conducted so far, the slide enabled such a microscope to ...
