Here is some awesome news for the ever curious souls. Scientists in Japan have developed a new state of matter named as ‘Jahn-Teller metal’. The path breaking discovery could lead to an understanding of the study of superconductivity. You must be wondering what this is. We have tried to pack-in some information about the newest metal on the block.
It is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic fields occurring in certain materials when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature. Its applications are instrumental in the making of electric motors, maglev trains, power transmitters and MRI Imagers.
