Next Big Future: Caltech Discovery in Fundamental Physics gives understanding of charge ordering in metals

http://www.nextbigfuture.com/2015/08/caltech-discovery-in-fundamental.html

Coverage of Disruptive Science and Technology. August 10, 2015. Caltech Discovery in Fundamental Physics gives understanding of charge ordering in metals. Caltech researchers recently used a synchrotron X-ray source to investigate the existence. Of instabilities in the arrangement of the electrons in metals as a function of both temperature and pressure, and to pinpoint, for the first time, how those instabilities arise. One of the metallic samples studied, niobium diselenide, is seen here–the squa...
