NYCU Unveils Strange Metal Mechanism in Superconductors, Opening a Path to Energy-Efficient Technologies

Scientists worldwide have long sought superconductors that carry electrical current without resistance or energy loss. A research team led by Professor Chung-Hou Chung from the Department of Electrophysics at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) has made a significant theoretical breakthrough in this pursuit. They have uncovered the formation mechanism of the “strange metal” quantum critical state in cuprates—a mysterious state first observed in 1986 that precedes the emergence of copper-based high-temperature superconductivity. This discovery marks a pivotal step toward solving a 40-year-old puzzle in physics.
