Strange metals share remarkable properties with black holes, opening exciting new directions for theoretical physics,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsfoundation.org\/team\/olivier-parcollet\/\">Olivier Parcollet<\/a>, a senior research scientist at the Flatiron Institute\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsfoundation.org\/flatiron\/center-for-computational-quantum-physics\/quantum-materials\/\">Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ)<\/a>, about the quantum world of metals that dissipate energy as fast as they\u2019re allowed to under the laws of quantum mechanics. The electrical resistivity of a strange metal, unlike that of ordinary metals, is proportional to the temperature.<\/p>\n<p>Even by the standards of quantum physicists, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simonsfoundation.org\/2020\/07\/23\/quantum-physicists-crack-mystery-of-strange-metals-a-new-state-of-matter\/\">reports<\/a> the Flatiron Institute, strange metals are just plain odd. Generating a theoretical understanding of strange metals is one of the biggest challenges in condensed matter physics. Now, using cutting-edge computational techniques, researchers from the Flatiron Institute and Cornell University have solved the first robust theoretical model of strange metals. The work reveals that strange metals are a new state of matter, the researchers report July 22 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNot only does God play dice but\u2026 he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen,\u201d said Stephen Hawking about the paradoxical physics of black Holes.
