Scientists at the Indian Institute of Science have observed electrons in graphene flowing like a nearly frictionless liquid, defying a core law of physics. This discovery could unlock powerful future technologies and provides a new path for studying quantum phenomena.
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have made a breakthrough in graphene research. They observed electrons flowing like a liquid, defying the Wiedemann-Franz law. The team created clean graphene samples and measured their electrical and thermal conductivity. The results showed that these properties moved in opposite directions, contradicting the established principle. This behavior occurs at the Dirac point, where graphene sits at a boundary between being a metal and an insulator. The discovery establishes graphene as a platform for exploring extreme physics phenomena.
