The results of the experiments, aided by the insights of theoretical physicists at Rutgers, could play a role in the development of revolutionary technologies and devices.

"It's likely that that quantum materials will drive the next generation of technology and that strange metals will be part of that story," said Piers Coleman, a Distinguished Professor at the Rutgers Center for Materials Theory in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences and one of the theoreticians involved in the study. "We know that strange metals like Y-ball exhibit properties that need to be understood to develop these future applications. We're pretty sure that understanding this strange metal will give us new ideas and will help us design and discover new materials."
